Fandom DNW: tommy bashing/the idea he was actually interested in eddie first, buck being woobified at the expense of other characters (eddie being overly harsh during/post lawsuit, chim/bobby/maddie bashing, etc), buck being treated like a better dad to christopher than eddie
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 & Shannon, Eddie & May, Eddie & Karen, Eddie & his abuela, Eddie & his sisters, Buck & May, Buck & Jee-Yun
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. It kills me that they're still estranged and I just want all them back together again.
Prompts:
1. magical au where they both have powers and eddie teaches chris how to use his
2. angry at both his dad and grandparents, chris ends up in another universe and has to travel dimensions to get home
3. shannon lives au where they coparent chris
Evan Buckley & Christopher Diaz & Eddie 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. Buck is a dance instructor and Chris gets Eddie to sign him up for his new kids classes
2. Buck ends up in El Paso and meets Chris & Eddie right after Shannon left
3. Buck is an instructor at a magical school and Chris is a new student
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 in canon divergences in s7/post s7/early s8 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.
Prompts:
1. Buck is a photographer and Eddie is the model he's shooting
2. Persuasion AU where Buck and Eddie meet as teens, have a summer romance, and Eddie is convinced to let Buck go/break his heart. Then they reunite years later
3. Eddie is a baseball player who signed with the Dodgers or Angels. Either Buck is still a firefighter or a part of the team
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. they run a tattoo parlor and flower shop - who runs what is up to you
2. Buck writes childrens books and Maddie illustrates art for them
3. Maddie does end up leaving with Buck when promised
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. Eddie is one of the dancers on Dancing with the Stars and Maddie gets signed up during a special "first responders" edition
2. Maddie leaves/ends up in El Paso earlier instead of LA because she is worried about leading Doug to Buck and meets/befriends Eddie before he leaves
3. Maddie is still around when Eddie starts working at dispatch and they become friends

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
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 and they pine while trying to stay professional
2. Diana is a high profile diplomat and Natasha is assigned as her bodyguard
3. Natasha time travels and ends up in Themyscira at the start of the first WW movie or even earlier
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 Bucky are both on the same football/baseball team and Eddie is newly signed/traded
2. Buck and Eddie models and Bucky is the new photographer assigned to shoot them
3. two of them are roommates and the third shows up when they advertise for one
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): 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. Diana is Kirk's bodyguard
2. they're soulmates and have been dreaming of each other for years
3. Diana is an artist and Kirk is a model. I can see him being flirty and her wanting to be professional but somehow charmed
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. She interviews him when he's promoting one of his novels
2. they end up as pen pals

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, Lois & Diana, Lois & Martha
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. Lois and Kal-El are thrown into an arranged marriage
2. AU where Lois ends up on Krypton as a child instead of the other way around
3. 'Orpheus and Eurydice' au post BvS where Lois fights to bring Clark back from the dead
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 also more than welcome.
Prompts:
1. Steve is reincarnated but doesn't remember his past life
2. Steve is in the army and Diana is a war photographer (or vice versa)
3. Diana has had a soulmate mark all her life that she never understood, till she met Steve

Fandom DNW: Rory bashing/shaming, Jess "showing up" other characters (especially Rory's exes and Christopher), Emily and Richard getting treated as if 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 & Luke, Jess & Paris, Jess & April, Jess & Doula, Jess & Lily, Rory & Lane, Rory & Lorelai, Rory & Paris, Rory & April, Rory & Richard, Rory & Emily, Rory & Luke, Lorelai & Sookie, Lorelai & Emily, Lorelai & Richard
Lane/Dave: I really loved these two together. Lane is one of my favorite characters- she's funny, daring and loyal- and Dave was such a good guy. The way he was willing to go along with the secrecy even when it was complicated for them to see each other and read the whole Bible just to figure out what Mrs Kim meant was so great. I know they didn't work out because Adam Brody left to go on the OC but I wish it had. They seemed to really make each other happy.
Prompts:
1. after Lane gets kicked out, she finds her way to California and meets up with Dave
2. 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.
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. times where they pretended to be a couple and the one time they don't have to pretend
2. Luke tells Lorelai about April immediately and they figure it out together
3. Chilton is a boarding school and Luke & Lorelai meet there
Paris/Rory: My favorite rivals to friends (to lovers) ship! Paris is a great character and I love her dynamics with Rory. Rory was so patient with her in the early seasons- she was able to stand up to Paris when necessary but also was open to listening her to and being there for her when she needed a shoulder. That Chilton dynamic was fun but I also loved how it resulted in them being such good friends and their dynamic even in the Revival was so solid, which was great.
Prompts:
1. they start a podcast together
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 is a bartender at Rory's favorite bar
3. they meet at Yale where there is a mix up and they end up as roommates/suitemates (welcome both genderbent aus with F!Jess or he just gets listed as one by accident)

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: 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. one of them swaps places with their 616 counterparts or another universe where they're together
2. Natasha time travels and meets pre-WS Bucky
3. Natasha is a photographer and Bucky is a model
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.
Prompts:
1 either they time travel to the past or past!Bucky comes to the future and he flirts with Sam, making present!Bucky jealous
2. in which Sam can actually talk to birds
3. they're actors rumored to or actually don't like each other and are now in a movie/tv show together
Maria/Natasha: Natasha and Maria are both hardworking, intelligent, and both have their guard up a little and understandably don't trust easily. At the same time, they each have a sense of humor that we got to see in small doses, like when Maria let her guard down early on in AOU. They've obviously worked together for a long time and I just think they would really connect and their personalities would mesh.
Prompts:
1. they're secretly married all along
2. they're soulmates but one or both doesn't believe in that
3. one of them is a celebrity and the other is their new bodyguard
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. Natasha survives Endgame and she and Sam get closer
2. Bodyguard AU where Sam's the new Captain America and they assign Natasha to protect him after he gains a stalker
3. she's an artist and he's a model (or vice versa)
Peggy/Natasha: I just like the idea of this ship. I can see them getting along- both are strong, passionate and tough and Peggy is a little more impulsive but that is what would make it fun. I said 'MCU' but feel free to go with Peggy's episode of "What If" and run with the Captain Carter route.
Prompts:
1. Natasha time travels or has the serum and meets Peggy in the past
2. Captain Carter and Natasha in the present
3. modern AU- they're rival spies
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. AU where they're soulmates and have marks to represent each other
3. Instead of dying in CACW, Peggy is deaged. Or she dies and comes back to life
Steve/Tony: I fell for them in the Avengers movie and they quickly became one of my OTPs. Ships that initially fight but are on the same side are definitely a favorite of mine and I liked how they progressed during that movie. Their ups and downs over the course of the rest were hard but they had some really great moments. I don't blame Steve for not telling Tony about Bucky (it's easy to say Tony wouldn't have killed Bucky while watching afar and be a little more wary when you are in the moment) and I don't blame Tony for being hurt. Both are stubborn and have communication issues for sure but they do have common goals and I'm just a sucker for scenes like Tony giving Steve his shield back in Endgame and Steve being all "I do" when asked if he trusted him. The way they were able to communicate effortlessly despite all that time apart (when communication issues were the problem!) was a delight to see. Plus you know they shared a bed on Clint's farm. I just would prefer that while they work on their issues, I don't want one of them grovelling to the other the entire time.
Prompts:
1. Tony visits Steve in the hospital after the events of TWS and Steve tells him the truth about Bucky/his parents
2. artist!Steve + Tony as his muse
3. Tony ends up time traveling pre-Iron Man to CATFA, where he meets and gets together with Steve. Then ends up in his own time, tries to pretend it never happened until Steve is discovered

Other Ships I like: Peyton/Anna, Karen/Deb, Karen/Keith, Nathan/Haley, and while I don't ship it, I am fine with Lucas/Peyton as long as they're not a focus
Friendships/Gen: any of the above, Brooke & Nathan, Brooke & Karen, Brooke & Jamie, Brooke & Haley, Haley & Peyton
Brooke/Lindsey: From what I have seen of s5, I thought they had chemistry, especially in the bed scene, with Lindsey immediately recognizing Brooke and being a fan of her. I thought that was super cute.
Prompts:
1. they end up getting drunk married in Vegas
2. she meets her through Lucas and they're the ones who end up dating
Brooke/Lucas: I really shipped them- they way they brought out a different side to each other and their cute nicknames was sweet. She really made him less broody and I liked that he learned at an early stage to see that she was more than she pretended to be. Even though they weren't romantic at all in s5, I thought that was a point that showed how good they could've been, with their friendship and support of one another. I like Brooke & Peyton's friendship so please no bashing/love triangles. I do prefer Peyton with Jake (and Haley with Nathan).
Prompts:
1. he convinces her give him another chance in s4
2. someone publishes a story about their "fake" engagement and now they have to go with it
3. different first meeting AU; she is a famous designer expanding into a men's fashion and he can is a popular basketball player that she gets to join her brand
Brooke/Peyton: I liked their friendship but I also ship it. At the end of the day, they needed each other the most and had their own beautiful love story. Plus Brooke canonically kissed Peyton and Rachel commented on their energy, which is both awesome.
Prompts:
1. they pretend to be a couple so Brooke can foster/adopt a child
2. 4 times that they were each other's plus 1 as friends and the one time as a couple
3. friends with benefits turns into real feelings
Brooke/Rachel: I just loved how they went from hating each other to friends and really being supportive of one another. I stopped watching after s4 so I only know bits and pieces of the following seasons but feel free to include what happened later.
Prompts:
1. different first meeting AU- Brooke is a famous designer and Rachel is a model
2. hate sex/casual sex in s4 turns into real feelings
3. anything set during the 4 years or Brooke helping Rachel overcome her later season struggles
Jake/Peyton: I loved Jake and Jeyton and it was a shame they never got their "someday". They seemed to have a lot of fun together too, and he made Peyton happy. Plus I always thought they looked like a cute family with Jenny.
Prompts:
1. they meet up in LA after she says no to Lucas's proposal
2. Jake is a musician newly signed to the label Peyton works for (or Peyton is the one who has to go convince him to sign and that is how they meet)
3. Jake gets custody of Jenny so he never has to leave

Nicholas Devereaux/Mia Thermopolis: I just love ships where the two of them clash immediately and then get to know one another/fall for each other, so it really worked for me. I love Mia period and watching her grow through the two movies was a lot of fun and I love the chemistry she had with Nicholas (the leg pop scene!). I like how they didn't have her marry him instead right away and she ruled alone at the end, with him coming to her and I would love fics set pre, during, or post the movie or complete AUs. I liked Andrew so please don't bash him.
Prompts:
1. she is set up in an arranged marriage with him
2. they meet when they're younger (pre-royalty reveal) and they get together but his uncle convinces him to break it off because he thinks she isn't "good enough" and then they reunite later
3. they go to the same boarding school and are rivals

Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, "Crisis on Infinite Earths" (namely Clark giving up his powers for good) if fic is set in canon verse
Other Ships I like: Martha/Jonathan, Lois/Kara, Kara/Jimmy, Kara/Lana, Kara/Chloe, Oliver/Dinah, Oliver/Chloe, Chloe/Victor, Chloe/George Dean (guy she was with in Apocalypse AU), Chloe/Lana, Chloe/Bart, Bart/Mia, AC/Mera, Lex/Lana (as long as he doesn't go evil), Lana/Jason (again, as long as he doesn't go evil), Tess/Emil
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the SV Justice League, Clark & Martha & Jonathan, Clark & 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. The scene with Clark trying to help her control her heat vision with the watermelon was pretty funny. 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's ship opened and then she finds/takes care of Clark herself
2. Kara is a baby too when she is sent off and the Kents take care of them both
3. Kara is a baby/toddler when she's found in s7 and Clark takes care of her
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. Lois is arranged to be married to Kal-El to bring understanding between their species and neither is a fan of the idea
2. Lois doesn't come back after she leaves in s4 and they end up meeting again at the Daily Planet
3. they're soulmates but don't realize it because they don't recognize the marks as each other's
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 each have two soulmate marks
2. Oliver is the bachelor and Lois & Clark are working on the show, but he prefers them to the contestants
3. they meet Oliver later in canon when they're already established at the Planet/Clark has started being the Red Blue Blur
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. NFL AU where Oliver is a star (openly bisexual) wide receiver or tight end and Clark is the new starting QB
3. meet ugly in a world where Clark & Lex stayed friends and Clark is immediately biased against Oliver (and maybe they have a bad run in anyway) and then they have to work together in the Justice League
Lois/Lana: They had their own little meet cute at the graveyard. I liked how they were friends right away and how Lois took to Lana immediately. They clearly get along very well and they had some good chemistry to which I can see them being a couple. Lois respects Lana and has listed her virtues to even Clark and Lana called Lois a good listener. I haven't read the s11 comics but it seems they had some good scenes there and Lana even gave Lois (and Clark) her blessing. On that note, please don't make Clark the villain or have them hook up because one or both are pining over him.
Prompts:
1. Lois stays in Metropolis University and then she needs a roommate and it ends up being Lana
2. Lana meets Lois in Paris instead of Jason
3. Lana keeps her powers and rescues Lois, who is curious about the new hero in town
Lois/Tess: I fell for these two immediately after their first scene in "Odyssey". I have to admit I had my doubts on Tess because she seemed like too much of a Lex replacement but I was won over right away and I shipped these two a lot. They had such chemistry right off the bat and it never faded. I loved them when they were at each other's throats and also loved how they became friends/trusted each other in s10. They're both strong willed, determined and they want to do what it is right- Lois is a little more brash while Tess is more calculated but at the end of the day, they ended up on the same side. I like fic set during any of those time periods, preferably AUs where Clois never got together if it is in the later seasons.
Prompts:
1. Loi works at a coffee shop and Tess is her favorite customer
2. Lois meets Tess before she ends up on the island
3. The Proposal (2009 movie) AU
Lana/Tess: They may not have had many scenes together but what they did have sold me on the chemistry and potential. Both of them are complicated and want to do what is right/be the hero (Tess has obviously had more stumbles than Lana) and they were each manipulated by Lex at some point. Even in s8, Lana managed to free her from Lex's grasp and saw a lot of potential in her to be a better person so I definitely think they would have a greater connection once Tess switched sides.
Prompts:
1. celebrity AU where they pretend to date
2. soulmate AU where they have each other's initials/names (I can see Lana being confused if she has Lutessa or LL too)
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. they're at the academy at the same time and end up as roommates
2. Kirk time travels and ends up saving Amanda
3. they meet as kids (maybe Amanda and Winona were/are friends) and keep in touch

Fandom DNW: tommy bashing/the idea he was actually interested in eddie first, buck being woobified at the expense of other characters (eddie being overly harsh during/post lawsuit, chim/bobby/maddie bashing, etc), buck being treated like a better dad to christopher than eddie
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 & Shannon, Eddie & May, Eddie & Karen, Eddie & his abuela, Eddie & his sisters, Buck & May, Buck & Jee-Yun
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. It kills me that they're still estranged and I just want all them back together again.
Prompts:
1. magical au where they both have powers and eddie teaches chris how to use his
2. angry at both his dad and grandparents, chris ends up in another universe and has to travel dimensions to get home
3. shannon lives au where they coparent chris
Evan Buckley & Christopher Diaz & Eddie 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. Buck is a dance instructor and Chris gets Eddie to sign him up for his new kids classes
2. Buck ends up in El Paso and meets Chris & Eddie right after Shannon left
3. Buck is an instructor at a magical school and Chris is a new student
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 in canon divergences in s7/post s7/early s8 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.
Prompts:
1. Buck is a photographer and Eddie is the model he's shooting
2. Persuasion AU where Buck and Eddie meet as teens, have a summer romance, and Eddie is convinced to let Buck go/break his heart. Then they reunite years later
3. Eddie is a baseball player who signed with the Dodgers or Angels. Either Buck is still a firefighter or a part of the team
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. they run a tattoo parlor and flower shop - who runs what is up to you
2. Buck writes childrens books and Maddie illustrates art for them
3. Maddie does end up leaving with Buck when promised
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. Eddie is one of the dancers on Dancing with the Stars and Maddie gets signed up during a special "first responders" edition
2. Maddie leaves/ends up in El Paso earlier instead of LA because she is worried about leading Doug to Buck and meets/befriends Eddie before he leaves
3. Maddie is still around when Eddie starts working at dispatch and they become friends

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
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 and they pine while trying to stay professional
2. Diana is a high profile diplomat and Natasha is assigned as her bodyguard
3. Natasha time travels and ends up in Themyscira at the start of the first WW movie or even earlier
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 Bucky are both on the same football/baseball team and Eddie is newly signed/traded
2. Buck and Eddie models and Bucky is the new photographer assigned to shoot them
3. two of them are roommates and the third shows up when they advertise for one
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): 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. Diana is Kirk's bodyguard
2. they're soulmates and have been dreaming of each other for years
3. Diana is an artist and Kirk is a model. I can see him being flirty and her wanting to be professional but somehow charmed
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. She interviews him when he's promoting one of his novels
2. they end up as pen pals

Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Justice League, Clark & Martha, Clark & Steve, Lois & Steve, Lois & Diana, Lois & Martha
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. Lois and Kal-El are thrown into an arranged marriage
2. AU where Lois ends up on Krypton as a child instead of the other way around
3. 'Orpheus and Eurydice' au post BvS where Lois fights to bring Clark back from the dead
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 also more than welcome.
Prompts:
1. Steve is reincarnated but doesn't remember his past life
2. Steve is in the army and Diana is a war photographer (or vice versa)
3. Diana has had a soulmate mark all her life that she never understood, till she met Steve

Fandom DNW: Rory bashing/shaming, Jess "showing up" other characters (especially Rory's exes and Christopher), Emily and Richard getting treated as if 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 & Luke, Jess & Paris, Jess & April, Jess & Doula, Jess & Lily, Rory & Lane, Rory & Lorelai, Rory & Paris, Rory & April, Rory & Richard, Rory & Emily, Rory & Luke, Lorelai & Sookie, Lorelai & Emily, Lorelai & Richard
Lane/Dave: I really loved these two together. Lane is one of my favorite characters- she's funny, daring and loyal- and Dave was such a good guy. The way he was willing to go along with the secrecy even when it was complicated for them to see each other and read the whole Bible just to figure out what Mrs Kim meant was so great. I know they didn't work out because Adam Brody left to go on the OC but I wish it had. They seemed to really make each other happy.
Prompts:
1. after Lane gets kicked out, she finds her way to California and meets up with Dave
2. 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.
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. times where they pretended to be a couple and the one time they don't have to pretend
2. Luke tells Lorelai about April immediately and they figure it out together
3. Chilton is a boarding school and Luke & Lorelai meet there
Paris/Rory: My favorite rivals to friends (to lovers) ship! Paris is a great character and I love her dynamics with Rory. Rory was so patient with her in the early seasons- she was able to stand up to Paris when necessary but also was open to listening her to and being there for her when she needed a shoulder. That Chilton dynamic was fun but I also loved how it resulted in them being such good friends and their dynamic even in the Revival was so solid, which was great.
Prompts:
1. they start a podcast together
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 is a bartender at Rory's favorite bar
3. they meet at Yale where there is a mix up and they end up as roommates/suitemates (welcome both genderbent aus with F!Jess or he just gets listed as one by accident)

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: 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. one of them swaps places with their 616 counterparts or another universe where they're together
2. Natasha time travels and meets pre-WS Bucky
3. Natasha is a photographer and Bucky is a model
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.
Prompts:
1 either they time travel to the past or past!Bucky comes to the future and he flirts with Sam, making present!Bucky jealous
2. in which Sam can actually talk to birds
3. they're actors rumored to or actually don't like each other and are now in a movie/tv show together
Maria/Natasha: Natasha and Maria are both hardworking, intelligent, and both have their guard up a little and understandably don't trust easily. At the same time, they each have a sense of humor that we got to see in small doses, like when Maria let her guard down early on in AOU. They've obviously worked together for a long time and I just think they would really connect and their personalities would mesh.
Prompts:
1. they're secretly married all along
2. they're soulmates but one or both doesn't believe in that
3. one of them is a celebrity and the other is their new bodyguard
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. Natasha survives Endgame and she and Sam get closer
2. Bodyguard AU where Sam's the new Captain America and they assign Natasha to protect him after he gains a stalker
3. she's an artist and he's a model (or vice versa)
Peggy/Natasha: I just like the idea of this ship. I can see them getting along- both are strong, passionate and tough and Peggy is a little more impulsive but that is what would make it fun. I said 'MCU' but feel free to go with Peggy's episode of "What If" and run with the Captain Carter route.
Prompts:
1. Natasha time travels or has the serum and meets Peggy in the past
2. Captain Carter and Natasha in the present
3. modern AU- they're rival spies
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. AU where they're soulmates and have marks to represent each other
3. Instead of dying in CACW, Peggy is deaged. Or she dies and comes back to life
Steve/Tony: I fell for them in the Avengers movie and they quickly became one of my OTPs. Ships that initially fight but are on the same side are definitely a favorite of mine and I liked how they progressed during that movie. Their ups and downs over the course of the rest were hard but they had some really great moments. I don't blame Steve for not telling Tony about Bucky (it's easy to say Tony wouldn't have killed Bucky while watching afar and be a little more wary when you are in the moment) and I don't blame Tony for being hurt. Both are stubborn and have communication issues for sure but they do have common goals and I'm just a sucker for scenes like Tony giving Steve his shield back in Endgame and Steve being all "I do" when asked if he trusted him. The way they were able to communicate effortlessly despite all that time apart (when communication issues were the problem!) was a delight to see. Plus you know they shared a bed on Clint's farm. I just would prefer that while they work on their issues, I don't want one of them grovelling to the other the entire time.
Prompts:
1. Tony visits Steve in the hospital after the events of TWS and Steve tells him the truth about Bucky/his parents
2. artist!Steve + Tony as his muse
3. Tony ends up time traveling pre-Iron Man to CATFA, where he meets and gets together with Steve. Then ends up in his own time, tries to pretend it never happened until Steve is discovered

Other Ships I like: Peyton/Anna, Karen/Deb, Karen/Keith, Nathan/Haley, and while I don't ship it, I am fine with Lucas/Peyton as long as they're not a focus
Friendships/Gen: any of the above, Brooke & Nathan, Brooke & Karen, Brooke & Jamie, Brooke & Haley, Haley & Peyton
Brooke/Lindsey: From what I have seen of s5, I thought they had chemistry, especially in the bed scene, with Lindsey immediately recognizing Brooke and being a fan of her. I thought that was super cute.
Prompts:
1. they end up getting drunk married in Vegas
2. she meets her through Lucas and they're the ones who end up dating
Brooke/Lucas: I really shipped them- they way they brought out a different side to each other and their cute nicknames was sweet. She really made him less broody and I liked that he learned at an early stage to see that she was more than she pretended to be. Even though they weren't romantic at all in s5, I thought that was a point that showed how good they could've been, with their friendship and support of one another. I like Brooke & Peyton's friendship so please no bashing/love triangles. I do prefer Peyton with Jake (and Haley with Nathan).
Prompts:
1. he convinces her give him another chance in s4
2. someone publishes a story about their "fake" engagement and now they have to go with it
3. different first meeting AU; she is a famous designer expanding into a men's fashion and he can is a popular basketball player that she gets to join her brand
Brooke/Peyton: I liked their friendship but I also ship it. At the end of the day, they needed each other the most and had their own beautiful love story. Plus Brooke canonically kissed Peyton and Rachel commented on their energy, which is both awesome.
Prompts:
1. they pretend to be a couple so Brooke can foster/adopt a child
2. 4 times that they were each other's plus 1 as friends and the one time as a couple
3. friends with benefits turns into real feelings
Brooke/Rachel: I just loved how they went from hating each other to friends and really being supportive of one another. I stopped watching after s4 so I only know bits and pieces of the following seasons but feel free to include what happened later.
Prompts:
1. different first meeting AU- Brooke is a famous designer and Rachel is a model
2. hate sex/casual sex in s4 turns into real feelings
3. anything set during the 4 years or Brooke helping Rachel overcome her later season struggles
Jake/Peyton: I loved Jake and Jeyton and it was a shame they never got their "someday". They seemed to have a lot of fun together too, and he made Peyton happy. Plus I always thought they looked like a cute family with Jenny.
Prompts:
1. they meet up in LA after she says no to Lucas's proposal
2. Jake is a musician newly signed to the label Peyton works for (or Peyton is the one who has to go convince him to sign and that is how they meet)
3. Jake gets custody of Jenny so he never has to leave

I love Mia period and watching her grow through the two movies was a lot of fun and I love the chemistry she had with Nicholas (the leg pop scene!). I like how they didn't have her marry him instead right away and she ruled alone at the end, with him coming to her and I would love fics set pre, during, or post the movie or complete AUs. I liked Andrew so please don't bash him.
Prompts:
1. she is set up in an arranged marriage with him
2. they meet when they're younger (pre-royalty reveal) and they get together but his uncle convinces him to break it off because he thinks she isn't "good enough" and then they reunite later

Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, "Crisis on Infinite Earths" (namely Clark giving up his powers for good) if fic is set in canon verse
Other Ships I like: Martha/Jonathan, Lois/Kara, Kara/Jimmy, Kara/Lana, Kara/Chloe, Oliver/Dinah, Oliver/Chloe, Chloe/Victor, Chloe/George Dean (guy she was with in Apocalypse AU), Chloe/Lana, Chloe/Bart, Bart/Mia, AC/Mera, Lex/Lana (as long as he doesn't go evil), Lana/Jason (again, as long as he doesn't go evil), Tess/Emil
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the SV Justice League, Clark & Martha & Jonathan, Clark & 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. The scene with Clark trying to help her control her heat vision with the watermelon was pretty funny. 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's ship opened and then she finds/takes care of Clark herself
2. Kara is a baby too when she is sent off and the Kents take care of them both
3. Kara is a baby/toddler when she's found in s7 and Clark takes care of her
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. Lois is arranged to be married to Kal-El to bring understanding between their species and neither is a fan of the idea
2. Lois doesn't come back after she leaves in s4 and they end up meeting again at the Daily Planet
3. they're soulmates but don't realize it because they don't recognize the marks as each other's
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 each have two soulmate marks
2. Oliver is the bachelor and Lois & Clark are working on the show, but he prefers them to the contestants
3. they meet Oliver later in canon when they're already established at the Planet/Clark has started being the Red Blue Blur
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. NFL AU where Oliver is a star (openly bisexual) wide receiver or tight end and Clark is the new starting QB
3. meet ugly in a world where Clark & Lex stayed friends and Clark is immediately biased against Oliver (and maybe they have a bad run in anyway) and then they have to work together in the Justice League
Lois/Lana: They had their own little meet cute at the graveyard. I liked how they were friends right away and how Lois took to Lana immediately. They clearly get along very well and they had some good chemistry to which I can see them being a couple. Lois respects Lana and has listed her virtues to even Clark and Lana called Lois a good listener. I haven't read the s11 comics but it seems they had some good scenes there and Lana even gave Lois (and Clark) her blessing. On that note, please don't make Clark the villain or have them hook up because one or both are pining over him.
Prompts:
1. Lois stays in Metropolis University and then she needs a roommate and it ends up being Lana
2. Lana meets Lois in Paris instead of Jason
3. Lana keeps her powers and rescues Lois, who is curious about the new hero in town
Lois/Tess: I fell for these two immediately after their first scene in "Odyssey". I have to admit I had my doubts on Tess because she seemed like too much of a Lex replacement but I was won over right away and I shipped these two a lot. They had such chemistry right off the bat and it never faded. I loved them when they were at each other's throats and also loved how they became friends/trusted each other in s10. They're both strong willed, determined and they want to do what it is right- Lois is a little more brash while Tess is more calculated but at the end of the day, they ended up on the same side. I like fic set during any of those time periods, preferably AUs where Clois never got together if it is in the later seasons.
Prompts:
1. Loi works at a coffee shop and Tess is her favorite customer
2. Lois meets Tess before she ends up on the island
3. The Proposal (2009 movie) AU
Lana/Tess: They may not have had many scenes together but what they did have sold me on the chemistry and potential. Both of them are complicated and want to do what is right/be the hero (Tess has obviously had more stumbles than Lana) and they were each manipulated by Lex at some point. Even in s8, Lana managed to free her from Lex's grasp and saw a lot of potential in her to be a better person so I definitely think they would have a greater connection once Tess switched sides.
Prompts:
1. celebrity AU where they pretend to date
2. soulmate AU where they have each other's initials/names (I can see Lana being confused if she has Lutessa or LL too)
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. they're at the academy at the same time and end up as roommates
2. Kirk time travels and ends up saving Amanda
3. they meet as kids (maybe Amanda and Winona were/are friends) and keep in touch
Thanks again!
