Dear creator,
Thank you for participating in this exchange! I just love h/c and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come with. I hope the information I provided helps.

You can also use one prompt for another request, if you think it fits better and any prompts in old letters are also fine to use too. If you have any questions, feel free to send them via the mod and I will do my best to answer asap. :)

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, buck having custody of christopher pre-canon, buck/shannon
Other Ships I like (for background, if necessary): Maddie/Chimney, 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 & Adriana & Sophia, Eddie & May, Eddie & Karen, Eddie & Linda, Eddie & Carla, Eddie & his abuela, Buck & May, Buck & Jee-Yun
Christopher Diaz & Eddie Diaz (hurt Eddie, hurt Chris): 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 am definitely excited about their reunion in 8b.
Prompts:
Hurt Chris:
1. 4 times Christopher is homesick and doesn't call Eddie and the one time he does/Eddie is there
2. Chris gets sick and Eddie takes care of him
3. Chris has a bad dream and Eddie comforts him (maybe Eddie lets Chris know he has bad dreams too to comfort him?)
Hurt Eddie:
1. uncomfortable interactions Eddie has with Chris (I have been curious about what Eddie was doing pre-birthday phone call) that leave Eddie sad and how it gets to be more normal
2. Chris helps Eddie during his recovery period after getting shot
3. Eddie and Chris are in an accident and Eddie is hurt, so Chris has to call 9-1-1
Evan Buckley & Christopher Diaz (hurt Buck): I love their relationship. They not only love each other, but the fact that Christopher knows that he can rely on Buck when he's in trouble - he can go to him when he's mad at his dad or when he needs someone to call to help his dad says so much. Also Buck isn't just the cool "fun" uncle - when Chris runs away, he calls Eddie, he backs Eddie when he pulls the plug on the tech, and he even is good about negotiating cookies after dinner, to name a few instances. I am so curious where their relationship stands at this point or how it will be when Chris inevitably returns, especially since Oliver Stark said in an interview that he doesn't think they're talking to each other.
Prompts:
1. Buck manages to get Christopher back during the tsunami but collapses when they get to solid ground so Chris has to get help
2. Buck takes care of Chris when he has the flu and catches it himself
3. Buck ends up at the Diaz household after he finds out about Daniel and Chris offers comfort
Evan Buckley & Christopher Diaz & Eddie Diaz (hurt Eddie): 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. Chris and Buck taking care of Eddie post s5 breakdown
2. Eddie takes hurt or sick and Chris & Buck are by his bedside
3. Eddie accidentally wishes himself away (maybe he sits at Shannon's grave and is all 'it would've been better for Chris if I had died instead' in a parallel to the hospital scene) and Chris and Buck are the only ones who remember how life really should be/is
Evan "Buck" Buckley/Eddie Diaz (hurt Eddie, hurt Buck): They're my OTP and I love everything about 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:
Hurt Buck:
1. Buck thinks they're just FWB while being in love with Eddie (but the feelings are mutual)
2. Buck reveals his feelings for Eddie after he gets shot (or at any point) when he thinks Eddie is still sleeping but he's not
3. Eddie takes care of Buck post lightening strike (or another time Buck gets hurt/has a near death experience) and it makes Buck realize that his feelings are mutual
Hurt Eddie:
1. Eddie has amnesia and only remembers up to the day before his first day at the 118
2. Eddie realizes his feelings for Buck (either post s7 or post Tommy breakup because Buck has started dating again) and starts pulling away because seeing him with others is too hard
3. Eddie ends up with Hanahaki
Evan Buckley & Maddie Buckley (hurt Buck, hurt Maddie): They're such good siblings and I love them so much. 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. He was her first kid! And they know it! Also the pinky swear ritual they have is very cute!
Prompts:
Hurt Buck:
1. Maddie takes care of Buck when he gets sick as a kid
2. Buck's hurt in an accident he and Maddie are in together and she has to take care of them
3. Doug stabs Buck instead of Chimney
Hurt Maddie:
1. Buck comforts Maddie when she's struggling with postpartum
2. Buck helps take care of Maddie after the kidnapping/she gets out of the hospital
3. Buck and Maddie in the early days after she moves in with him in s2 (comfort after a nightmare?)
Maddie Buckley & Eddie Diaz (hurt Maddie, hurt Eddie): I really wish we could see them interact. As much as I'm glad that they didn't go through with the original plan to have them get together, I do believe they could be friends. There's definitely some parallels and similarities, between how they are the older siblings who were given added responsibilities too early and some of their struggles and could support/advise each other in a different way.
Prompts:
Hurt Eddie:
1. Maddie leaves sooner, ends up in El Paso instead of LA, and befriends Eddie. Then Doug finds them.
2. Eddie ends up working at Dispatch when Maddie is still there and they bond
3. they end up in a near death situation and she has to save him
Hurt Maddie:
1. Eddie is on the beach when Maddie pulls herself out of the water
2. Eddie comforts Maddie about her parenting fears/abandoning Jee and they bond (wine nights? With Karen?)
3. Eddie and Maddie talk while Buck is in the hospital (any time, canon event or new)

Fandom DNW: bashing canon love interests (Lois, Rory, Steve, etc)
Arthur Curry (Aquaman 2006)/Clark Kent (Smallville) (hurt Clark, hurt Arthur): 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:
Hurt Arthur:
1. Clark saves Arthur
2. Arthur has amnesia and is confused about what Clark is to him (can be getting together or established)
3. they are on a mission and have to work together to get out safely
Hurt Clark:
1. Clark is hurt and Arthur saves him
2. Clark is under a curse and true love's kiss is the only way to save the day
3. they meet when Clark is interviewing Arthur and then trouble arises
Diana Prince (DCEU)/Natasha Romanov (MCU) (hurt Natasha): Diana and Natasha have potential and 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. late night talks over nightmares/dreams/individual trauma lead them to getting closer
2. AU where Natasha is Diana's bodyguard and gets hurt protecting her (Diana could still be WW if you want and her identity is just a secret and that could lead to a reveal)
3. Natasha is sick and Diana takes care of her
James "Bucky" Barnes (MCU)/Eddie Diaz (9-1-1) (hurt Eddie, hurt Bucky): 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. I'm also open to Buck being around and/or leading to/implying a Buck/Eddie/Bucky threesome.
Prompts:
Hurt Bucky:
1. he thinks Eddie only wants sex and is trying to avoid feelings because of his past
2. Eddie patches up Bucky's wounds after a battle
3. they both have nightmares
Hurt Eddie:
1. they meet when Bucky pulls Eddie out of a fire - maybe he disappears right after and Eddie's the only one who saw him/left wondering. And then they run into each other again
2. they meet at a support group
3. Bucky cooks for Eddie (or vice versa)
Peggy Carter (MCU)/Diana Prince (DCEU) (hurt Peggy): 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. they meet while searching for a common enemy post the first WW/CATFA
2. WW AU where Peggy is the spy who ends up crashing into Themyscira
James T. Kirk (ST:AOS)/Diana Prince (DCEU) (hurt Kirk): 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 takes care of Kirk when he is sick
2. Diana ends up rescuing Kirk after he is in trouble on a mission
3. initially casual sex turns into something more
Jess Mariano (Gilmore Girls)/Peyton Sawyer (One Tree Hill) (hurt Peyton): 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. they meet/hook up at a bar but they both think the other one only wants casual
2. talking about shared parental issues late at night
3. Jess cooks for Peyton
Rory Gilmore (Gilmore Girls)/Lucas Scott (One Tree Hill) (hurt Rory, hurt Lucas): 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:
Hurt Lucas:
1. Lucas gets injured playing basketball
2. think they both just want friends with benefits
3. they talk about their complicated relationships with their fathers
Hurt Rory:
1. Rory gets sick and Lucas takes care of her
2. they meet when Rory interviews Lucas over his book

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 & Martha
Clark Kent/Lois Lane (hurt Clark, hurt Lois: They're great together. I love how mature and loving their relationship is. Lois figuring out Clark and his identity and Clark appreciating Lois for believing in him even in MoS was lovely. I didn't see BvS but the scene where Clark tells Lois that she is his world gets to me. I love the way that she was the one who calmed him down and brought him back post resurrection and I'm so glad that they seem to be not only engaged but have a baby after the ZSJL.
Prompts:
Hurt Clark:
1. Clark dealing with adjusting to coming back to life
2. reunion after Clark comes back after the team wins
3. Clark's mind control takes longer to break through but Lois still gets there
Hurt Lois:
1. Lois ends up in an arranged marriage with Kal-El to bring a connection between their species and she has to adjust
2. Lois overworks herself and Clark takes care of her
3. Lois and Clark connecting after she has nightmares about his death
Diana & Lois Lane (hurt Lois, hurt Diana): I wish we could've seen them together, because I think they could've gotten along. Amy Adams and Gal Gadot had good chemistry in their interviews and that could've translated. They're both strong, passionate women and I think they could each use a friend, especially after BvS. Diana knows what it is like to lose a loved one and they could've bonded (I wish it had been Diana instead of J'onn pretending to be Martha in that apartment scene).
Prompts:
Hurt Diana:
1. Diana temporarily loses her powers/gets hurt and Lois has to help her
2. post BVS and they end up having late night talks about knowing what it's like to lose their love
hurt Lois:
1. Lois meets Diana first (before Superman) and an interview turns into a rescue
2. Diana takes Lois to Themyscira
Diana (Wonder Woman)/Steve Trevor (hurt Diana, hurt Steve): I definitely fell for these two hard in the WW movie. I loved how they met, with Diana saving Steve, and how she took a risk to leave with him. The way he isn't intimidated by her and how they work together so well really sold me on the ship. I was happy to see Steve back in WW84 but I didn't like how he possessed someone else's body to return. AUs of the movie are also more than welcome.
Prompts:
Hurt Diana:
1. Diana can still feel her soulmate connection Steve even if he is supposedly dead and maybe it leads to her finding a way to bring him back
2. she finds Steve in the present day but he doesn't seem to remember her, until he does
3. she temporarily loses her powers
Hurt Steve:
1. going on a mission together and Steve gets hurt; maybe Diana even carries him to safety
2. reincarnation where Steve doesn't remember his past or even has amnesia while surviving his canon death, but he feels like he's missing someone
3. he gets hurt/sick on their date night but they adjust

Friendships/Gen: Sherlock & Marcus, Joan & Marcus, Joan & Ms. Hudson, Sherlock & Alfredo
Jamie Moriarty/Joan Watson (hurt Joan, hurt Jamie): They're my favorite enemies ship. I find their dynamic so intriguing and full of chemistry. Jamie being fascinated by Joan and thinking she will get an upper hand and move on eventually but just *doesn't* and Joan actually outsmarting her is so much fun to watch. Also Jamie definitely gives off the "no one can hurt you but me".
Prompts:
hurt Jamie:
1. Jamie asks for help regarding her daughter
2. Jamie gets hurt protecting Joan and Joan has feelings about it
hurt Joan:
1. Sherlock goes missing and Joan has to work with Jamie to get him back (maybe Jamie is also going after the same person)
2. they find out they are soulmates
Sherlock Holmes & Joan Watson (hurt Sherlock, hurt Joan): I really love their friendship and how they went from mutual distrust to a place where Sherlock could plainly say that they're two people who love each other. Joan cares about Sherlock, but also doesn't put up with any BS from him, and in turn, Sherlock really respects and cares about Joan. Him naming a bee after her was one of my favorite moments!
Prompts:
Hurt Sherlock:
1. Doctor AU where Joan is still a doctor and Sherlock is a frequent patient
2. they share a bed after Sherlock has nightmares
Hurt Joan:
1. Joan gets sick and doesn't handle it well
2. Sherlock patches up Joan's wounds after a case

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: Rory & Lane, Rory & Luke, Rory & Richard, Rory & Emily, Lorelai & Sookie, Lorelai & Emily & Richard, Rory & Paris, Paris & Jess, Jess & Lane, Jess & April, Jess & Doula
Lorelai & Rory (hurt Rory, hurt Lorelai): 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.
Prompts:
Hurt Rory:
1. Rory misses her mom, who drops everything to come visit (can be a Rory goes to Harvard instead for distance, she stays at Yale, or she's an adult just on the road somewhere)
2. Rory is sick and Lorelai takes care of her
Hurt Lorelai:
1. Lorelai overworks herself
2. they have a late night talk in the kitchen when they can't sleep
Lane/Dave (hurt Lane): 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 deal with the secrecy even when it was complicated for them to see each other and read the whole Bible just to figure out what Mrs Kim meant was so great. I know they didn't work out because Adam Brody left to go on the OC but I wish it had. They seemed to really make each other happy.
Prompts:
1. Lane gets sick and Dave takes care of her
2. When Lane gets kicked out, she ends up in California and reunites with Dave
3. they don't break up and Lane misses Dave when they're apart
Luke & Jess (hurt Jess): Their relationship was one of my favorites on the show. I love how they went from neither of them really wanting to be around each other, as Luke did take him in because he had to, and were both reluctant and then Luke showed how much he did love Jess and Jess realized that Luke cared about him/was grateful for it. I was happy to see that their relationship was still as such a solid place in the Revival and how Jess was now there for Luke when he needed it. So good.
Prompts:
1. Jess gets sick as a kid
2. Jess has a bad day and Luke comforts him
Luke/Lorelai (hurt Luke, hurt 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 have seen AYITL but you're welcome to ignore it or use it as canon.
Prompts:
hurt Luke:
1. Luke only grudgingly admits he's sick to Lorelai
2. He accidentally reveals his feelings when he's sick
Hurt Lorelai:
1. Luke cooks for Lorelai when she falls sick
2. after finding out Sherry is pregnant, Lorelai gets comfort from Luke
Paris/Rory (hurt Paris, hurt 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:
Hurt Paris:
1. Paris gets sick from overworking herself
2. Paris gets amnesia and forgets she's married to Rory
Hurt Rory:
1. Rory gets sick and Paris is surprisingly gentle when taking care of her
2. Late night talks when they were at Yale (both in the dorm and the apartment)
Rory/Jess (hurt Rory, hurt 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.
Prompts:
Hurt Rory:
1. Rory is sick and Jess takes care of her (reads to her, etc)
2. they don't break up in s3 but do long distance instead
Hurt Jess:
1. Jess is sick and Rory tries to take care of him - maybe she tries to make him soup and fails but he's appreciative of her efforts
2. Jess gets into an accident and has amnesia

Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (feel free to ignore), rehash of CW debate with bias toward one side (I'm on Team Cap but I don't want to go over it again), past/present/unrequited Steve/Bucky or Steve/Sam, focus on Zemo, Bucky only having flirted with Sarah to make Sam jealous
Other Ships I like (for background, if necessary): Bruce/Betty, Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Sam/Rhodey, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Clint/Coulson, Natasha/Rhodey, Natasha/Sam, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/T'Challa, Nebula/Rhodey, Carol/Rhodey, Sam/Rhodey, Sam/Erik Killmonger, Sam/T'Challa, Steve/Tony, T'Challa/Nakia, T'Challa/M'Baku, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif, Tony/Pepper
Friendships/Gen: anything that's listed in the ship section, Steve & Bucky, Steve & Sam, Steve & Natasha, any combo of the Avengers, Tony & Rhodey, Jane & Darcy
Bucky/Natasha (hurt Natasha, hurt Bucky): 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.
Prompts:
Hurt Bucky:
1. Bucky has nightmares over what he's done in the past; Natasha offers support and comfort
2. after Bucky comes back from the snap, they tell him Natasha is dead but he knows she isn't, because his soulmate mark hasn't faded
Hurt Natasha:
1. Facing off with the WS. One of the times that they fought that Natasha mentioned in TWS but maybe she unexpectedly breaks through the brainwashing.
2. she pretends to be less hurt/sick than she is but Bucky sees through her
Bucky/Natasha/Sam (hurt Sam): I think they would be an interesting trio. I like all three individual relationships and of course the characters themselves. They are all competent and snarky and they'd have a fun dynamic.
Prompts:
1. Sam gets hurt on a mission so Natasha and Bucky take care of him
2. Sam ends up with amnesia and is confused by their dynamic (could be both getting together or established)
Bucky/Sam (hurt Sam, hurt Bucky): 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 like the what ifs after TWS to anything set during or after TFATWS. Complete AUs are fun too.
Prompts:
Hurt Bucky:
1. Bucky admits his feelings when he thinks they're going to die and they live
2. Bucky is stuck in a time loop where Sam keeps dying and it makes him realize his feelings
Hurt Sam:
1. Sam gets sick/hurt on date night
2. Sam gets Hanahaki
Peggy/Steve (hurt Peggy, hurt 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:
Hurt Peggy:
1. she pretends not to be sick/hurt; Steve sees through it
2. time loop- Peggy keeps reliving the day that Steve disappeared
Hurt Steve:
1. Peggy actually sees Steve when he shows up in the past or maybe he (and Tony) get caught and Peggy has to come run interference
2. modern AU where they work for different organizations and meet up on a mission
Pepper/Natasha (hurt Pepper): I liked the idea of them after Iron Man 2 and I wish we had seen them interact again. They had good chemistry and they're both interesting characters who could really connect in the long run if they were given another shot.
Prompts:
1. Pepper is overworked/exhausted and Natasha takes care of her
2. AU where Natasha is Pepper's PA/bodyguard
Steve/Tony (hurt Steve, hurt Tony): I really fell for them in the first Avengers movie. 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:
Hurt Steve:
1. Steve thinks they're just in a FWB relationship while wanting more
2. Steve is sick/hurt and he is surprised at how gentle Tony is with him
Hurt Tony:
1. Tony has amnesia and thinks that Steve is his boyfriend/husband
2. Tony admits his feelings when they think they're going to die

Gen/Platonic: any combo of the Power Rangers
Kimberly/Tommy (hurt Kim, hurt Tommy): This was my 'shipped before I knew what shipping was' ship. The original OTP. I just loved Kim as a kid and Tommy felt like such a dashing knight in shining armor. I thought they were really sweet together. I like how she's just so compassionate and caring but can also kick butt and is really there for the ones she cares about and how he's a great guy with his own insecurities. I would love anything from the show to the '95 movie (which I used to rewatch all the time as a kid) to set post breakup.
Prompts:
Hurt Kim:
1. after the breakup, Kim starts throwing up petals
2. set during the Turbo movie: Kim gets seriously injured and the only way to save her life is a soul bond
Hurt Tommy:
1. Tommy gets injured, has amnesia, and forgets he's married to Kim
2. Tommy almost dies and decides to tell Kimberly how he feels

Nicholas Devereaux/Mia Thermopolis (hurt Mia, hurt Nicholas): 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:
Hurt Mia:
1. Mia overworks herself and collapses from exhaustion
2. Mia ends up in an arranged marriage with Nicholas
Hurt Nicholas:
1. after a failed engagement to Andrew and an overturn of the law, Nicholas and Mia end up in a FWB relationship (AU where they wasn't a feelings reveal/kiss before that - maybe they were just snarky acquaintances) and Nicholas thinks she only wants sex
2. Mia has amnesia and Nicholas pines because she doesn't remember him/them

Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, "Crisis on Infinite Earths" (Clark & Lois having two daughters is good, not him permanently having given up his powers), focus on Chloe
Other Ships I like (for background): Martha/Jonathan, Lois/Kara, Kara/Jimmy, Kara/Lana, Kara/Chloe, Oliver/Dinah, Oliver/Chloe, Chloe/Victor, Chloe/George Dean (guy she was with in Apocalypse AU), Chloe/Lana, Chloe/Bart, Bart/Mia, AC/Mera, Lex/Lana (as long as he doesn't go evil), Lana/Jason (again, as long as he doesn't go evil), Tess/Emil
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the SV Justice League, Clark & Martha & Jonathan, Clark & Kara, Clark & Lana, Clark & Lois, Clark & Oliver, Clark & Lex, Clark & Tess, Lois & Lana, Lois & Martha
Clark/Lois (hurt Clark, hurt 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. 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:
Hurt Clark:
1. Clark gets amnesia and doesn't recognize Lois/only remembers when they were friends
2. Clark temporarily loses his powers and has to readjust/gets hurts in the process
3. Clark gets hurt while they're investigating and Lois has to rescue them both
Hurt Lois:
1. Lois gets sick/hurt and Clark takes care of her- could be during an earlier season where the care taking results in feelings, when they know about it but aren't together (and pining), or after they're already together
2. Lois gets sick/hurt on their anniversary and Clark organizes a evening in to make her feel better
3. Hanahaki AU - Lois comes down with it
Clark/Lois/Oliver (hurt Clark, hurt Oliver, hurt Lois): They're my OT3. I really liked the dynamic between not only the individual relationships, but the three of them together, even if we didn't get those scenes as much as I would've liked. I think they all have stuff in common with one another but also are different in ways to balance each other out. I like fics after they're together but for getting together stories, I'm good with two of them being together and adding the third or all three getting together at the same time.
Prompts:
Hurt Clark:
1. a Kryptonian device creates a soul bond between the three of them but it is Clark who suffers the most when they're apart; he tries to hide it at first but Lois and Oliver figure it out quickly
2. Lois and Oliver have to team up to rescue Clark
3. AU where Lois and Oliver get back together in s7; Clark ends up hanging out with one or both after his own breakup (I always did think he and Lana would've broken up had Oliver not shown up/his fears been ignited because of Lois's hesitancy to date a hero) of them and they all realize there are feelings and he could be dating them both instead of the third wheel. Maybe Oliver notices how close Clark and Lois is and even he kissed Clark once while they were undercover
Hurt Oliver:
1. Oliver worries he isn't as wanted in the relationship or that just Lois wants him there
2. after his suicide attempt in 'Echo', Lois and Clark come together to support/help him heal
3. Oliver has amnesia and he thinks that the three of them are together
Clark/Oliver (hurt Clark, hurt Oliver): My fanon OTP. I really fell for them out of the blue in s6. I really like the way that their friendship developed and how Clark always believed in Ollie, even when Oliver didn't believe in himself, and how Oliver secretly looked up to Clark. It was tough watching them have their ups and downs, but I felt like they came out of it stronger. If you do go this route though, I would prefer Clark and Lois never having been together- feel free to hand wave if it is set in the later seasons, because I don't want them to have broken up or for Lois to have her heart broken, since I love Clois/Lois.
Prompts:
Hurt Clark:
1. Clark gets shot with a kryptonite arrow and Oliver has feelings about it
2. Clark thinks they're just FWB and wants more
3. Clark temporarily loses his powers
Hurt Oliver:
1. Oliver gets injured and Clark pretends to be his fiance to see him but it turns out Oliver has amnesia and now believes it
2. Clark and Oliver are trapped in a small space, with Oliver dosed with a sex pollen.
3. Oliver admits his feelings when he thinks he's going to die but survives
Lana/Tess (hurt Tess): They didn't interact much, but I was sold by their chemistry in the few scenes that they did have. They both have a background with Lex/have been betrayed by him that that have shaped them in different ways and even early on, Lana wanted to help Tess and believed she was a good person. I like how they both want to be heroes and Tess's journey took a few stumbles but she got there and I would love to see them grow together and connect.
Prompts:
1. they have to go undercover as a couple and Tess gets hurt
2. they end up connecting after a late night chat and things grow from there
Lois/Lana (hurt Lois): 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 tells Lana how she feels when she thinks she is going to die and then survives
2. Lois gets hurt and Lana is there to help her recover
Lois/Tess (hurt Tess, hurt Lois): I don't think I've fallen for a ship as quickly as I did for these two. They had such chemistry right off the bat (I really had an "OH" moment during their first scene in 'Odyssey') 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:
Hurt Lois:
1. Lois overworks herself and Tess notices
2. Lois ends up in the hospital and asks for Tess
Hurt Tess:
1. Luthor AU; Lois somehow gets closer to Tess, as Tess has lost Clark and Oliver's dead
2. Tess is injured and Lois takes care of her
3. one of them thinks they're just FWB and the other believes they're in a relationship

James T. Kirk/Spock (hurt Spock, hurt Kirk): Frenemies to lovers is my favorite dynamic so of course I liked how they butted heads and then had to work together and how they grew to rely on each other over the course of the movies. I had issues with ST:ID but for shippy reasons, I did like Kirk's "death" scene.
Prompts:
Hurt Kirk:
1. instead of Khan's blood, it's a soul bond that can save Kirk's life in ID and Spock is the compatible one
2. Kirk blurts out his feeling when he thinks he's going to die and then he survives
3. Kirk ends up in an arranged marriage with Spock
Hurt Spock:
1. Spock gets hurt protecting Kirk
2. Spock has amnesia and believes that Kirk is his lover
3. they're pretending to date and Spock believes Kirk hates him

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, buck having custody of christopher pre-canon, buck/shannon
Other Ships I like (for background, if necessary): Maddie/Chimney, 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 & Adriana & Sophia, Eddie & May, Eddie & Karen, Eddie & Linda, Eddie & Carla, Eddie & his abuela, Buck & May, Buck & Jee-Yun
Christopher Diaz & Eddie Diaz (hurt Eddie, hurt Chris): 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 am definitely excited about their reunion in 8b.
Prompts:
Hurt Chris:
1. 4 times Christopher is homesick and doesn't call Eddie and the one time he does/Eddie is there
2. Chris gets sick and Eddie takes care of him
3. Chris has a bad dream and Eddie comforts him (maybe Eddie lets Chris know he has bad dreams too to comfort him?)
Hurt Eddie:
1. uncomfortable interactions Eddie has with Chris (I have been curious about what Eddie was doing pre-birthday phone call) that leave Eddie sad and how it gets to be more normal
2. Chris helps Eddie during his recovery period after getting shot
3. Eddie and Chris are in an accident and Eddie is hurt, so Chris has to call 9-1-1
Evan Buckley & Christopher Diaz (hurt Buck): I love their relationship. They not only love each other, but the fact that Christopher knows that he can rely on Buck when he's in trouble - he can go to him when he's mad at his dad or when he needs someone to call to help his dad says so much. Also Buck isn't just the cool "fun" uncle - when Chris runs away, he calls Eddie, he backs Eddie when he pulls the plug on the tech, and he even is good about negotiating cookies after dinner, to name a few instances. I am so curious where their relationship stands at this point or how it will be when Chris inevitably returns, especially since Oliver Stark said in an interview that he doesn't think they're talking to each other.
Prompts:
1. Buck manages to get Christopher back during the tsunami but collapses when they get to solid ground so Chris has to get help
2. Buck takes care of Chris when he has the flu and catches it himself
3. Buck ends up at the Diaz household after he finds out about Daniel and Chris offers comfort
Evan Buckley & Christopher Diaz & Eddie Diaz (hurt Eddie): 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. Chris and Buck taking care of Eddie post s5 breakdown
2. Eddie takes hurt or sick and Chris & Buck are by his bedside
3. Eddie accidentally wishes himself away (maybe he sits at Shannon's grave and is all 'it would've been better for Chris if I had died instead' in a parallel to the hospital scene) and Chris and Buck are the only ones who remember how life really should be/is
Evan "Buck" Buckley/Eddie Diaz (hurt Eddie, hurt Buck): They're my OTP and I love everything about 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:
Hurt Buck:
1. Buck thinks they're just FWB while being in love with Eddie (but the feelings are mutual)
2. Buck reveals his feelings for Eddie after he gets shot (or at any point) when he thinks Eddie is still sleeping but he's not
3. Eddie takes care of Buck post lightening strike (or another time Buck gets hurt/has a near death experience) and it makes Buck realize that his feelings are mutual
Hurt Eddie:
1. Eddie has amnesia and only remembers up to the day before his first day at the 118
2. Eddie realizes his feelings for Buck (either post s7 or post Tommy breakup because Buck has started dating again) and starts pulling away because seeing him with others is too hard
3. Eddie ends up with Hanahaki
Evan Buckley & Maddie Buckley (hurt Buck, hurt Maddie): They're such good siblings and I love them so much. 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. He was her first kid! And they know it! Also the pinky swear ritual they have is very cute!
Prompts:
Hurt Buck:
1. Maddie takes care of Buck when he gets sick as a kid
2. Buck's hurt in an accident he and Maddie are in together and she has to take care of them
3. Doug stabs Buck instead of Chimney
Hurt Maddie:
1. Buck comforts Maddie when she's struggling with postpartum
2. Buck helps take care of Maddie after the kidnapping/she gets out of the hospital
3. Buck and Maddie in the early days after she moves in with him in s2 (comfort after a nightmare?)
Maddie Buckley & Eddie Diaz (hurt Maddie, hurt Eddie): I really wish we could see them interact. As much as I'm glad that they didn't go through with the original plan to have them get together, I do believe they could be friends. There's definitely some parallels and similarities, between how they are the older siblings who were given added responsibilities too early and some of their struggles and could support/advise each other in a different way.
Prompts:
Hurt Eddie:
1. Maddie leaves sooner, ends up in El Paso instead of LA, and befriends Eddie. Then Doug finds them.
2. Eddie ends up working at Dispatch when Maddie is still there and they bond
3. they end up in a near death situation and she has to save him
Hurt Maddie:
1. Eddie is on the beach when Maddie pulls herself out of the water
2. Eddie comforts Maddie about her parenting fears/abandoning Jee and they bond (wine nights? With Karen?)
3. Eddie and Maddie talk while Buck is in the hospital (any time, canon event or new)

Arthur Curry (Aquaman 2006)/Clark Kent (Smallville) (hurt Clark, hurt Arthur): 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:
Hurt Arthur:
1. Clark saves Arthur
2. Arthur has amnesia and is confused about what Clark is to him (can be getting together or established)
3. they are on a mission and have to work together to get out safely
Hurt Clark:
1. Clark is hurt and Arthur saves him
2. Clark is under a curse and true love's kiss is the only way to save the day
3. they meet when Clark is interviewing Arthur and then trouble arises
Diana Prince (DCEU)/Natasha Romanov (MCU) (hurt Natasha): Diana and Natasha have potential and 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. late night talks over nightmares/dreams/individual trauma lead them to getting closer
2. AU where Natasha is Diana's bodyguard and gets hurt protecting her (Diana could still be WW if you want and her identity is just a secret and that could lead to a reveal)
3. Natasha is sick and Diana takes care of her
James "Bucky" Barnes (MCU)/Eddie Diaz (9-1-1) (hurt Eddie, hurt Bucky): 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. I'm also open to Buck being around and/or leading to/implying a Buck/Eddie/Bucky threesome.
Prompts:
Hurt Bucky:
1. he thinks Eddie only wants sex and is trying to avoid feelings because of his past
2. Eddie patches up Bucky's wounds after a battle
3. they both have nightmares
Hurt Eddie:
1. they meet when Bucky pulls Eddie out of a fire - maybe he disappears right after and Eddie's the only one who saw him/left wondering. And then they run into each other again
2. they meet at a support group
3. Bucky cooks for Eddie (or vice versa)
Peggy Carter (MCU)/Diana Prince (DCEU) (hurt Peggy): 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. they meet while searching for a common enemy post the first WW/CATFA
2. WW AU where Peggy is the spy who ends up crashing into Themyscira
James T. Kirk (ST:AOS)/Diana Prince (DCEU) (hurt Kirk): 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 takes care of Kirk when he is sick
2. Diana ends up rescuing Kirk after he is in trouble on a mission
3. initially casual sex turns into something more
Jess Mariano (Gilmore Girls)/Peyton Sawyer (One Tree Hill) (hurt Peyton): 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. they meet/hook up at a bar but they both think the other one only wants casual
2. talking about shared parental issues late at night
3. Jess cooks for Peyton
Rory Gilmore (Gilmore Girls)/Lucas Scott (One Tree Hill) (hurt Rory, hurt Lucas): 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:
Hurt Lucas:
1. Lucas gets injured playing basketball
2. think they both just want friends with benefits
3. they talk about their complicated relationships with their fathers
Hurt Rory:
1. Rory gets sick and Lucas takes care of her
2. they meet when Rory interviews Lucas over his book

Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Justice League, Clark & Martha, Clark & Steve, Lois & Steve, Lois & Martha
Clark Kent/Lois Lane (hurt Clark, hurt Lois: They're great together. I love how mature and loving their relationship is. Lois figuring out Clark and his identity and Clark appreciating Lois for believing in him even in MoS was lovely. I didn't see BvS but the scene where Clark tells Lois that she is his world gets to me. I love the way that she was the one who calmed him down and brought him back post resurrection and I'm so glad that they seem to be not only engaged but have a baby after the ZSJL.
Prompts:
Hurt Clark:
1. Clark dealing with adjusting to coming back to life
2. reunion after Clark comes back after the team wins
3. Clark's mind control takes longer to break through but Lois still gets there
Hurt Lois:
1. Lois ends up in an arranged marriage with Kal-El to bring a connection between their species and she has to adjust
2. Lois overworks herself and Clark takes care of her
3. Lois and Clark connecting after she has nightmares about his death
Diana & Lois Lane (hurt Lois, hurt Diana): I wish we could've seen them together, because I think they could've gotten along. Amy Adams and Gal Gadot had good chemistry in their interviews and that could've translated. They're both strong, passionate women and I think they could each use a friend, especially after BvS. Diana knows what it is like to lose a loved one and they could've bonded (I wish it had been Diana instead of J'onn pretending to be Martha in that apartment scene).
Prompts:
Hurt Diana:
1. Diana temporarily loses her powers/gets hurt and Lois has to help her
2. post BVS and they end up having late night talks about knowing what it's like to lose their love
hurt Lois:
1. Lois meets Diana first (before Superman) and an interview turns into a rescue
2. Diana takes Lois to Themyscira
Diana (Wonder Woman)/Steve Trevor (hurt Diana, hurt Steve): I definitely fell for these two hard in the WW movie. I loved how they met, with Diana saving Steve, and how she took a risk to leave with him. The way he isn't intimidated by her and how they work together so well really sold me on the ship. I was happy to see Steve back in WW84 but I didn't like how he possessed someone else's body to return. AUs of the movie are also more than welcome.
Prompts:
Hurt Diana:
1. Diana can still feel her soulmate connection Steve even if he is supposedly dead and maybe it leads to her finding a way to bring him back
2. she finds Steve in the present day but he doesn't seem to remember her, until he does
3. she temporarily loses her powers
Hurt Steve:
1. going on a mission together and Steve gets hurt; maybe Diana even carries him to safety
2. reincarnation where Steve doesn't remember his past or even has amnesia while surviving his canon death, but he feels like he's missing someone
3. he gets hurt/sick on their date night but they adjust

Friendships/Gen: Sherlock & Marcus, Joan & Marcus, Joan & Ms. Hudson, Sherlock & Alfredo
Jamie Moriarty/Joan Watson (hurt Joan, hurt Jamie): They're my favorite enemies ship. I find their dynamic so intriguing and full of chemistry. Jamie being fascinated by Joan and thinking she will get an upper hand and move on eventually but just *doesn't* and Joan actually outsmarting her is so much fun to watch. Also Jamie definitely gives off the "no one can hurt you but me".
Prompts:
hurt Jamie:
1. Jamie asks for help regarding her daughter
2. Jamie gets hurt protecting Joan and Joan has feelings about it
hurt Joan:
1. Sherlock goes missing and Joan has to work with Jamie to get him back (maybe Jamie is also going after the same person)
2. they find out they are soulmates
Sherlock Holmes & Joan Watson (hurt Sherlock, hurt Joan): I really love their friendship and how they went from mutual distrust to a place where Sherlock could plainly say that they're two people who love each other. Joan cares about Sherlock, but also doesn't put up with any BS from him, and in turn, Sherlock really respects and cares about Joan. Him naming a bee after her was one of my favorite moments!
Prompts:
Hurt Sherlock:
1. Doctor AU where Joan is still a doctor and Sherlock is a frequent patient

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: Rory & Lane, Rory & Luke, Rory & Richard, Rory & Emily, Lorelai & Sookie, Lorelai & Emily & Richard, Rory & Paris, Paris & Jess, Jess & Lane, Jess & April, Jess & Doula
Lorelai & Rory (hurt Rory, hurt Lorelai): 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.
Prompts:
Hurt Rory:
1. Rory misses her mom, who drops everything to come visit (can be a Rory goes to Harvard instead for distance, she stays at Yale, or she's an adult just on the road somewhere)
2. Rory is sick and Lorelai takes care of her
Hurt Lorelai:
1. Lorelai overworks herself
2. they have a late night talk in the kitchen when they can't sleep
Lane/Dave (hurt Lane): 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 deal with the secrecy even when it was complicated for them to see each other and read the whole Bible just to figure out what Mrs Kim meant was so great. I know they didn't work out because Adam Brody left to go on the OC but I wish it had. They seemed to really make each other happy.
Prompts:
1. Lane gets sick and Dave takes care of her
2. When Lane gets kicked out, she ends up in California and reunites with Dave
3. they don't break up and Lane misses Dave when they're apart
Luke & Jess (hurt Jess): Their relationship was one of my favorites on the show. I love how they went from neither of them really wanting to be around each other, as Luke did take him in because he had to, and were both reluctant and then Luke showed how much he did love Jess and Jess realized that Luke cared about him/was grateful for it. I was happy to see that their relationship was still as such a solid place in the Revival and how Jess was now there for Luke when he needed it. So good.
Prompts:
1. Jess gets sick as a kid
2. Jess has a bad day and Luke comforts him
Luke/Lorelai (hurt Luke, hurt 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 have seen AYITL but you're welcome to ignore it or use it as canon.
Prompts:
hurt Luke:
1. Luke only grudgingly admits he's sick to Lorelai
2. He accidentally reveals his feelings when he's sick
Hurt Lorelai:
1. Luke cooks for Lorelai when she falls sick
2. after finding out Sherry is pregnant, Lorelai gets comfort from Luke
Paris/Rory (hurt Paris, hurt 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:
Hurt Paris:
1. Paris gets sick from overworking herself
2. Paris gets amnesia and forgets she's married to Rory
Hurt Rory:
1. Rory gets sick and Paris is surprisingly gentle when taking care of her
2. Late night talks when they were at Yale (both in the dorm and the apartment)
Rory/Jess (hurt Rory, hurt 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.
Prompts:
Hurt Rory:
1. Rory is sick and Jess takes care of her (reads to her, etc)
2. they don't break up in s3 but do long distance instead
Hurt Jess:
1. Jess is sick and Rory tries to take care of him - maybe she tries to make him soup and fails but he's appreciative of her efforts
2. Jess gets into an accident and has amnesia

Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (feel free to ignore), rehash of CW debate with bias toward one side (I'm on Team Cap but I don't want to go over it again), past/present/unrequited Steve/Bucky or Steve/Sam, focus on Zemo, Bucky only having flirted with Sarah to make Sam jealous
Other Ships I like (for background, if necessary): Bruce/Betty, Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Sam/Rhodey, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Clint/Coulson, Natasha/Rhodey, Natasha/Sam, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/T'Challa, Nebula/Rhodey, Carol/Rhodey, Sam/Rhodey, Sam/Erik Killmonger, Sam/T'Challa, Steve/Tony, T'Challa/Nakia, T'Challa/M'Baku, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif, Tony/Pepper
Friendships/Gen: anything that's listed in the ship section, Steve & Bucky, Steve & Sam, Steve & Natasha, any combo of the Avengers, Tony & Rhodey, Jane & Darcy
Bucky/Natasha (hurt Natasha, hurt Bucky): 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.
Prompts:
Hurt Bucky:
1. Bucky has nightmares over what he's done in the past; Natasha offers support and comfort
2. after Bucky comes back from the snap, they tell him Natasha is dead but he knows she isn't, because his soulmate mark hasn't faded
Hurt Natasha:
1. Facing off with the WS. One of the times that they fought that Natasha mentioned in TWS but maybe she unexpectedly breaks through the brainwashing.
2. she pretends to be less hurt/sick than she is but Bucky sees through her
Bucky/Natasha/Sam (hurt Sam): I think they would be an interesting trio. I like all three individual relationships and of course the characters themselves. They are all competent and snarky and they'd have a fun dynamic.
Prompts:
1. Sam gets hurt on a mission so Natasha and Bucky take care of him
2. Sam ends up with amnesia and is confused by their dynamic (could be both getting together or established)
Bucky/Sam (hurt Sam, hurt Bucky): 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 like the what ifs after TWS to anything set during or after TFATWS. Complete AUs are fun too.
Prompts:
Hurt Bucky:
1. Bucky admits his feelings when he thinks they're going to die and they live
2. Bucky is stuck in a time loop where Sam keeps dying and it makes him realize his feelings
Hurt Sam:
1. Sam gets sick/hurt on date night
2. Sam gets Hanahaki
Peggy/Steve (hurt Peggy, hurt 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:
Hurt Peggy:
1. she pretends not to be sick/hurt; Steve sees through it
2. time loop- Peggy keeps reliving the day that Steve disappeared
Hurt Steve:
1. Peggy actually sees Steve when he shows up in the past or maybe he (and Tony) get caught and Peggy has to come run interference
2. modern AU where they work for different organizations and meet up on a mission
Pepper/Natasha (hurt Pepper): I liked the idea of them after Iron Man 2 and I wish we had seen them interact again. They had good chemistry and they're both interesting characters who could really connect in the long run if they were given another shot.
Prompts:
1. Pepper is overworked/exhausted and Natasha takes care of her
2. AU where Natasha is Pepper's PA/bodyguard
Steve/Tony (hurt Steve, hurt Tony): I really fell for them in the first Avengers movie. 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:
Hurt Steve:
1. Steve thinks they're just in a FWB relationship while wanting more
2. Steve is sick/hurt and he is surprised at how gentle Tony is with him
Hurt Tony:
1. Tony has amnesia and thinks that Steve is his boyfriend/husband
2. Tony admits his feelings when they think they're going to die

Other Ships I like: Jason/Trini, Jason/Kat, Trini/Billy, Rocky/Adam, Rocky/Adam/Aisha. If it isn't listed here and doesn't involve separating Kim/Tommy, it should be fine.
Gen/Platonic: any combo of the Power Rangers
Kimberly/Tommy (hurt Kim, hurt Tommy): This was my 'shipped before I knew what shipping was' ship. The original OTP. I just loved Kim as a kid and Tommy felt like such a dashing knight in shining armor. I thought they were really sweet together. I like how she's just so compassionate and caring but can also kick butt and is really there for the ones she cares about and how he's a great guy with his own insecurities. I would love anything from the show to the '95 movie (which I used to rewatch all the time as a kid) to set post breakup.
Prompts:
Hurt Kim:
1. after the breakup, Kim starts throwing up petals
2. set during the Turbo movie: Kim gets seriously injured and the only way to save her life is a soul bond
Hurt Tommy:
1. Tommy gets injured, has amnesia, and forgets he's married to Kim
2. Tommy almost dies and decides to tell Kimberly how he feels

Nicholas Devereaux/Mia Thermopolis (hurt Mia, hurt Nicholas): 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:
Hurt Mia:
1. Mia overworks herself and collapses from exhaustion
2. Mia ends up in an arranged marriage with Nicholas
Hurt Nicholas:
1. after a failed engagement to Andrew and an overturn of the law, Nicholas and Mia end up in a FWB relationship (AU where they wasn't a feelings reveal/kiss before that - maybe they were just snarky acquaintances) and Nicholas thinks she only wants sex
2. Mia has amnesia and Nicholas pines because she doesn't remember him/them

Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, "Crisis on Infinite Earths" (Clark & Lois having two daughters is good, not him permanently having given up his powers), focus on Chloe
Other Ships I like (for background): Martha/Jonathan, Lois/Kara, Kara/Jimmy, Kara/Lana, Kara/Chloe, Oliver/Dinah, Oliver/Chloe, Chloe/Victor, Chloe/George Dean (guy she was with in Apocalypse AU), Chloe/Lana, Chloe/Bart, Bart/Mia, AC/Mera, Lex/Lana (as long as he doesn't go evil), Lana/Jason (again, as long as he doesn't go evil), Tess/Emil
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the SV Justice League, Clark & Martha & Jonathan, Clark & Kara, Clark & Lana, Clark & Lois, Clark & Oliver, Clark & Lex, Clark & Tess, Lois & Lana, Lois & Martha
Clark/Lois (hurt Clark, hurt 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. 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:
Hurt Clark:
1. Clark gets amnesia and doesn't recognize Lois/only remembers when they were friends
2. Clark temporarily loses his powers and has to readjust/gets hurts in the process
3. Clark gets hurt while they're investigating and Lois has to rescue them both
Hurt Lois:
1. Lois gets sick/hurt and Clark takes care of her- could be during an earlier season where the care taking results in feelings, when they know about it but aren't together (and pining), or after they're already together
2. Lois gets sick/hurt on their anniversary and Clark organizes a evening in to make her feel better
3. Hanahaki AU - Lois comes down with it
Clark/Lois/Oliver (hurt Clark, hurt Oliver, hurt Lois): They're my OT3. I really liked the dynamic between not only the individual relationships, but the three of them together, even if we didn't get those scenes as much as I would've liked. I think they all have stuff in common with one another but also are different in ways to balance each other out. I like fics after they're together but for getting together stories, I'm good with two of them being together and adding the third or all three getting together at the same time.
Prompts:
Hurt Clark:
1. a Kryptonian device creates a soul bond between the three of them but it is Clark who suffers the most when they're apart; he tries to hide it at first but Lois and Oliver figure it out quickly
2. Lois and Oliver have to team up to rescue Clark
3. AU where Lois and Oliver get back together in s7; Clark ends up hanging out with one or both after his own breakup (I always did think he and Lana would've broken up had Oliver not shown up/his fears been ignited because of Lois's hesitancy to date a hero) of them and they all realize there are feelings and he could be dating them both instead of the third wheel. Maybe Oliver notices how close Clark and Lois is and even he kissed Clark once while they were undercover
Hurt Oliver:
1. Oliver worries he isn't as wanted in the relationship or that just Lois wants him there
2. after his suicide attempt in 'Echo', Lois and Clark come together to support/help him heal
3. Oliver has amnesia and he thinks that the three of them are together
Clark/Oliver (hurt Clark, hurt Oliver): My fanon OTP. I really fell for them out of the blue in s6. I really like the way that their friendship developed and how Clark always believed in Ollie, even when Oliver didn't believe in himself, and how Oliver secretly looked up to Clark. It was tough watching them have their ups and downs, but I felt like they came out of it stronger. If you do go this route though, I would prefer Clark and Lois never having been together- feel free to hand wave if it is set in the later seasons, because I don't want them to have broken up or for Lois to have her heart broken, since I love Clois/Lois.
Prompts:
Hurt Clark:
1. Clark gets shot with a kryptonite arrow and Oliver has feelings about it
2. Clark thinks they're just FWB and wants more
3. Clark temporarily loses his powers
Hurt Oliver:
1. Oliver gets injured and Clark pretends to be his fiance to see him but it turns out Oliver has amnesia and now believes it
2. Clark and Oliver are trapped in a small space, with Oliver dosed with a sex pollen.
3. Oliver admits his feelings when he thinks he's going to die but survives
Lana/Tess (hurt Tess): They didn't interact much, but I was sold by their chemistry in the few scenes that they did have. They both have a background with Lex/have been betrayed by him that that have shaped them in different ways and even early on, Lana wanted to help Tess and believed she was a good person. I like how they both want to be heroes and Tess's journey took a few stumbles but she got there and I would love to see them grow together and connect.
Prompts:
1. they have to go undercover as a couple and Tess gets hurt
2. they end up connecting after a late night chat and things grow from there
Lois/Lana (hurt Lois): 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 tells Lana how she feels when she thinks she is going to die and then survives
2. Lois gets hurt and Lana is there to help her recover
Lois/Tess (hurt Tess, hurt Lois): I don't think I've fallen for a ship as quickly as I did for these two. They had such chemistry right off the bat (I really had an "OH" moment during their first scene in 'Odyssey') 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:
Hurt Lois:
1. Lois overworks herself and Tess notices
2. Lois ends up in the hospital and asks for Tess
Hurt Tess:
1. Luthor AU; Lois somehow gets closer to Tess, as Tess has lost Clark and Oliver's dead
2. Tess is injured and Lois takes care of her
3. one of them thinks they're just FWB and the other believes they're in a relationship

Gen/Platonic: Kirk & Bones, Kirk & Winona, any combo of the Enterprise crew, Spock & Amanda
James T. Kirk/Spock (hurt Spock, hurt Kirk): Frenemies to lovers is my favorite dynamic so of course I liked how they butted heads and then had to work together and how they grew to rely on each other over the course of the movies. I had issues with ST:ID but for shippy reasons, I did like Kirk's "death" scene.
Prompts:
Hurt Kirk:
1. instead of Khan's blood, it's a soul bond that can save Kirk's life in ID and Spock is the compatible one
2. Kirk blurts out his feeling when he thinks he's going to die and then he survives
3. Kirk ends up in an arranged marriage with Spock
Hurt Spock:
1. Spock gets hurt protecting Kirk
2. Spock has amnesia and believes that Kirk is his lover
3. they're pretending to date and Spock believes Kirk hates him
Thanks again!
