Fandom DNW: buck/tommy (outside of past/canon history), 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 & Chris, Eddie & Shannon, Eddie & Adriana & Sophia, Eddie & May, Eddie & Karen, Eddie & Linda, Eddie & Carla, Eddie & his abuela, Eddie & Pepa, Buck & Pepa, Buck & May, Buck & Jee-Yun, Buck & Chris

Evan "Buck" Buckley/Eddie Diaz: 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 or getting caught up with their respective grief in 8.17) 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 and Eddie are married, but Buck gets into an accident and only remembers the moments before the ambulance scene/they become friends in 2.01
2. "I'm tired of pretending I'm not in love with you." - Buck and Eddie post the s8 finale -> one of them spontaneously proposing
3. Eddie gets Hanahaki (I could see it after the graveyard scene in s6 or even after he leaves for Texas but whatever part in canon or an AU fits is good!)
4. Eddie is worried about his ability to be a good husband to Buck

Buck & Bobby: Their relationship is everything to me! I love how Buck came in with all this swagger but was still vulnerable and trying to find his place in the world, and he found this father figure in Bobby and the love he never got from his parents. Meanwhile, Bobby didn't want to be a dad and was closed off/reluctant to accept another family yet that that is what he got anyway. These two had their struggles but they are family and Bobby's death (what death? he's in a government lab somewhere!) broke my heart because both Bobby and this relationship deserved better.

Prompts:
1. Bobby walks Buck down the aisle
2. Bobby gives Buck something sentimental for his wedding

Buck & Christopher: 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. Their reunion was one of my favorite parts about 8.17. I didn't think we'd see them on screen together in s8 and I was so happy to be wrong. Also it is both adorable and funny that Chris and Buck still have such a strong physical resemblance.

Prompts:
1. Buck asks Christopher for permission to marry Eddie
2. Christopher helps Buck plan his proposal

Buck & 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:
1. Buck ends up walking Maddie down the aisle
2. Buck (and Eddie) decided to elope and he asks Maddie to be their witness

Christopher & Eddie: Their relationship is so precious to me - definitely one of my favorites on the show. I love how patient and openly affectionate and loving Eddie is with Chris and how Chris is such a great kid, but is also not infallible, as we've seen him lash out and snap. Neither of them are perfect but they learn and grow together. I was happy to see them back together in 8B and how even though they were still on uncertain terms, Chris trusted his father enough that he could tell him about how much he hated chess.

Prompts:
1. Adult Chris is getting engaged/married and Eddie has some family heirlooms for him (maybe even offers Shannon's ring, if Chris wants it?)
2. Eddie talks to Chris about getting married to Buck

Maddie & Eddie: I really wish we could see them interact. As much as I'm glad that they didn't go through with the original plan to have them get together, I do believe they could be friends. There's definitely some parallels and similarities, between how they are the older siblings who were given added responsibilities too early and some of their struggles and could support/advise each other in a different way.

Prompts:
1. Maddie ended up in El Paso first and she and Eddie end up married for convenience reasons before showing up in LA together
2. Eddie asks Maddie for her blessing to propose to Buck

Fandom DNWs: bashing canon love interests (Steve, Lois, Rory, 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. AU where Krypton doesn't explode and they end up in an arranged marriage as a means to bring about understanding between their worlds
2. they're working together in the Justice League and they come across an artifact that binds them in marriage
3. they took dance lessons for the wedding and now it's their first dance

Diana Prince (DCEU)/Natasha Romanov (MCU): 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. arranged marriage AU for political reasons (maybe Natasha isn't even the first they suggest but Diana refuses the others and she's the first she agrees on)
2. combining their traditions while planning their wedding
3. their wedding reception is interrupted

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. Like they meet somewhere when Eddie is alone, because Buck had a date, but I'd rather they didn't have a focus/presence, such as 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:
1. Eddie gets hurt and their original anniversary plans are ruined, but Bucky finds a way to do something special anyway
2. "I don't want to date you. I want to marry you." - they pretended to date (maybe to get Eddie's family off his back or people trying to set him up once he came out) and it turns into real feelings)
3. Bucky almost dies. Eddie proposes.

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. arranged marriage AU - maybe Diana is really thrown off by the fact Kirk looks like Steve and is initially cold because of it/Kirk misunderstands (he could even think she dislikes him because of his reputation)
2. finding ways to include both their traditions into their wedding
3. Wonder Woman is helping them on a mission - when she and Kirk get separated from the group, they find a mysterious artifact and it results in them being married

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. Peyton and Jess meet in a bar, bond, and then wake up the next morning married
2. They pretend to date - maybe Peyton or Jess needed a date to a wedding or event (Jess if he has to go back to Stars Hollow for whatever reasons) - and end up falling in love/deciding to get married
3. Celebrating their anniversary

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. Lucas keeps trying to propose and failing
2. Lucas gets sick on their anniversary but Rory finds a way to make it fun and special anyway
3. Anything with their wedding night

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: 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. Krypton exists AU where Lois and Kal are thrown into an arranged marriage to secure an alliance between their worlds
2. post ZSJL; Even though Lois already has the ring, Clark still decides to plan a romantic proposal
3. Lois tries to find and discover some Kryptonian traditions to incorporate into their wedding

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. Diana and Steve trigger a soul bond from the moment they meet
2. Diana finds a way to bring Steve back but it does involve a marriage bond
3. they get mistaken for a married couple while undercover before they're actually together

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 & Lorelai, Rory & Luke, Rory & Richard, Rory & Emily, Lorelai & Sookie, Lorelai & Emily & Richard, Rory & Paris, Paris & Jess, Jess & Lane, Jess & April, Jess & Doula, Jess & Luke

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 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. picking music for their wedding
2. they decide to take a road trip for their honeymoon (i can see them choosing locations important to their favorite musicians)
3. Lane gets sick; Dave makes their anniversary special anyway

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 have seen AYITL but you're welcome to ignore it or use it as canon.

Prompts:
1. Lorelai ends up on the cruise with Luke instead of Nicole and they drunkenly get married
2. post season 7 where Luke is trying to propose and keeps getting interrupted
3. they get to have their perfect wedding day

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. Paris is very demanding during their wedding planning - she doesn't need a wedding planner. She is the planner (and on a soft note, she just wants everything to be perfect for Rory)
2. they drunkenly get married while on spring break and they seem to be foiled every time they try to annul it
3. they take dance lessons before their wedding

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.

Prompts:
1. Jess tries to plan a nice night for their first anniversary
2. they accidentally get married - could be AYITL compliant and they meet up instead of Rory hooking up with the wookie/get married - and Jess doesn't want to annul it because he realizes he's still in love with her
3. Trying to navigate overly involved friends and family while planning their wedding

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/Natasha, Bucky/Sam/Rhodey, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Maria/Natasha, Maria/Sharon, Natasha/Clint/Coulson, Natasha/Peggy, Natasha/Pepper, Natasha/Rhodey, Natasha/Sam, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/T'Challa, 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: 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: 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:
1. Natasha and Bucky have a private wedding ceremony, just for them
2. Natasha time travels for a mission and ends up meeting Bucky preWS
3. They got undercover as a married couple and it leads to feelings

Bucky/Sam: I liked the idea of them when I noticed how much chemistry Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan had during their TWS press tour, but I think I really fell for them during CACW. I just love frenemies to lovers/bickering friends and they gave it to me in spades, especially the scene in the car and the "I hate you". The fact we got to move from that to the soft look Bucky gave Sam in Endgame was such a treat and everything that developed during TFATWS was even better. Never imagined I could get this much content for them. Bucky has been through so much and I love that Sam just doesn't treat him with kid gloves. They have this special bond and I love it a lot. Sam's one of my overall favorite characters- I loved him immediately in TWS and he is just the best. The way he is brave and fights for what he believes and is such a good friend are some of his (many) great traits. Plus he is good at cutting through the BS, which is why he didn't tolerate Rumlow's monologue or even Zemo's attempts at manipulation. I like the what ifs after TWS to anything set during or after TFATWS. Complete AUs are fun too.

Prompts:
1. social media/media/fan reaction to finding out Bucky and Sam are engaged and through to the wedding
2. One of them proposes while in the middle of a battle ("Hey after all this is over, you wanna get married?" "Sure, but I better get a ring" - or something like that)
3. Sam tries to find his soulmate and can't imagine it's Bucky (if you want to write angst, you could make it so that Bucky's mark was on his left arm)

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 and Steve eloped and showed up one day with rings and despite the pushback, are happy they did it that way
2. Steve keeps trying to propose to Peggy but gets interrupted
3. Peggy and Steve during their married life

Steve/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:
1. Tony jokes about being engaged/proposing to Steve and the media takes it seriously and it quickly goes viral
2. One or both of them develop Hanahaki (could happen post CW but any point of canon pre-Tony death or an AU where Tony didn't die works)
3. Their wedding day is interrupted by canon shenanigans but they're determined to get married so they do it in their superhero suits

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. Mia was unknowingly promised to Nicholas when he was a kid and now they're adults and expected to marry
2. Nicholas jokes around about the two of them getting married/fake proposes but the wrong person sees it and it goes viral
3. Mia is on her bachelorette party and wakes up married to Nicholas instead

Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, "Crisis on Infinite Earths" (namely Clark giving up his powers for good)

Other Ships I like (for background): Martha/Jonathan, Lois/Kara, Kara/Jimmy, Kara/Lana, Kara/Chloe, Oliver/Dinah, Oliver/Chloe, Chloe/Victor, Chloe/George Dean (guy she was with in Apocalypse AU), Chloe/Lana, Chloe/Bart, Bart/Mia, AC/Mera, Lex/Lana (as long as he doesn't go evil), Lana/Jason (again, as long as he doesn't go evil), Tess/Emil

Friendships/Gen: any combo of the SV Justice League, Clark & Martha & Jonathan, Clark & Kara, Clark & Lana, Clark & Lois, Clark & Oliver, Clark & Lex, Clark & Tess, Lois & Lana, Lois & Martha

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. 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. A canon fix it for their wedding where they actually get to have a normal wedding (and before the seven year jump!)
2. Clark gets partial amnesia and can only remember up to the point where he and Lois were still bickering
3. they meet an alternate universe version of themselves that is married

Clark/Lois/Oliver: 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:
1. They find an artifact that results in them being married
2. Lois and Clark navigate being (secretly or openly in a world where poly is accepted/normalized) married to being a famous billionaire that is Oliver
3. One or all three get Hanahaki and marriage is the only cure

Clark/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.

1. Oliver jokes about being married/engaged to Clark and it goes viral
2. Krypton exists AU; Oliver and Kal-El are thrown into an arranged marriage to bring about cultural understanding/peace
3. Clark pretends to be Oliver's husband to get into his hospital room, only to find out he has amnesia and now believes they're married

Lana/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. pretending to be married while married and pining for the other
2. Lana is searching for her soulmark but doesn't think it's Tess - maybe she has the letters "LL" and doesn't realize what Tess's birth name is
3. Tess gets sick/hurt on their anniversary, but Lana manages to make it special

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 ends up back in the past and somehow, her actions result in saving Jonathan Kent. She returns to the present to find that she's married to Lana now
2. A spell binds Lois in marriage to Lana
3. They pretend to date and instead of breaking up at the end, one of the proposes

Lois/Tess: 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:
1. they switch places with a version of themselves that is married
2. Lois overworks herself and Tess takes care of her
3. they wake up married

Other Ships I like (for background): Gaila/Nyota, Carol Marcus/Bones, Nyota/Bones, Christine Chapel/Bones

Gen/Platonic: Kirk & Bones, Kirk & Winona, any combo of the Enterprise crew, Spock & Amanda

James T. Kirk/Spock: 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:
1. Kirk jokingly talks about proposing/proposes to Spock and the media catches on/it goes viral
2. Kirk kisses Spock on an alien planet to fend off unwanted attention (either on himself or Spock), only to find out that it now means they're married
3. They end up in an alternate universe where they're married

Thanks again! :D
