Fandom: Critical Role

These ships are organized by party with a crossover section at the bottom. I do my best to stay up-to-date on current canon so be warned there will be spoilers.

Vox Machina

Percy de Rolo/Vax'ildan

I really enjoy the What Ifs of these two. Their relationship is equal parts banter and protectiveness. The lengths that Percy was willing to go in order to save Vax's life from the Raven Queen tore me apart. We can say that he felt responsible for Vax's death because he triggered the trap that killed Vex all we want--and that's true--but Percy loved Vax, whether it was as a friend, a brother, or romantically.

With regards to E114, "The night is yours" haunts me on the same level as "Do not go far from me" and "I cast Counterspell. Level nine." If you want to explore that through a Vax/Percy lens, go forth.

Prompts:

• Canon divergence where Vax is the one to say "Darling, take off the mask"
• Vax taking out his anger and grief over Vex's death by fucking Percy (consensually)
  
• Canon divergence fluff where Vex's death never happened and Vax didn't become the Raven Queen's Champion because I'd love to know what would've become of their relationship without all that blame and guilt between them
  

Jarett Howarth/Kynan Leore

This ship has lived rent-free in my head for a long time. I feel like Jarett would be an excellent listening ear for Kynan to talk about his fraught meeting with Vox Machina and his resulting time with Ripley.

Prompts:

• Slow burn starting from Kynan's arrival in Whitestone and Jarett taking him under his wing
• Getting together when Kynan has started to settle into his new home and take on additional responsibility
  
• Hurt/comfort after one of them is attacked
  
• Maybe they investigate something outside Whitestone alone and they're forced to take shelter in a cabin

Mighty Nein

Caleb Widogast/Essek Thelyss

If someone forced me to choose my one OTP for Critical Role, this would be my answer. I love them so much I don't even know where to start. Everything from the little domestic moments of Essek teaching Caleb magic to the two of them fighting side-by-side to "You were not born with venom in your veins" to exploring the mysteries of Aeor together. I swear every time Essek mentions "my partner" another month is added on to my lifespan.

If you need to see more about my (personal) interpretation, I've written frankly a lot of fanfic for them myself and I'm sure there's more on the horizon.

Prompts:

• Post C2 snapshots of their life together
• Essek teaching Caleb more magic
  
• Essek and Caleb take a vacation to Rumblecusp, with or without the rest of the Nein
• Essek and Caleb exploring the mysteries of Aeor together
• The post-apogee solstice reunion that we never got to see but you know happened
• The origins of Essek's new spellbook that clearly contains spells he learned from Caleb

 

Bell's Hells

Fandom DNW: FCG with an actual tongue

Orym/Dorian Storm

WE'RE CANON, YA'LL. God help me I love them so fucking much. The night they spent together in Caleb's Tower was so achingly sweet and the nervous desperation of "I want to kiss you. Can I kiss you?" Absolute perfection. Dorian summoning Coriolis so Orym can ride him into battle was amazing and I wish we could've had more of that in the combat sequence.

Prompts:

• Emotional destruction in the form of Dorian trying to send messages to Orym when Sending magic isn't working, while Orym's trying to do the same
• Setting change AU including modern
  
• Slice of life views of Dorian and Orym traveling together and falling slowly in love
  
• Fearne creating situations where Dorian and Orym are alone together
• Post-C3 Dorian and Orym following through on their promise to explore a life together
• Bodyguard AU

Ashton Greymoore/Milo Krook

When we first met Milo, I was CONVINCED that there was going to be a big reveal that they're Ashton's SO and while obviously that's not canon, I'm still not over it. I'm open to any level of canon compliance (that is, canon compliant snapshots of their relationship pre- or during Bells Hells, canon divergence, or entire AUs). Ashton deserves nice things and Milo is nice things. There’s so much trust there as well. I’m still not very Ashton leaving his hammer with Milo to add the immovable rod (BRILLIANT, by the way, we don’t give Ashton enough credit for his cleverness) and how much that had to mean to him.

Prompts:

• After everything with Ruidas is over, Ashton returns home for a well-earned rest and finally feels comfortable enough to confess his feelings for Milo
• Ashton takes something to Milo for investigation (the harness maybe?) and Milo blurts out that they’ll accept a kiss in payment
  

Fresh Cut Grass/F.R.I.D.A.

I didn't expect this, but I loved it so much. It's nice for them both to have someone that truly knows and understands them, while also keeping their friends. If we get to see the party telling FRIDA that FCG is gone, it's going to break my heart.

Prompts:

• Soft moments during their time traveling together
• Canon divergence where they meet in Aeor
  
• Canon divergence where they both wake up in Aeor in the present
  
• Dream sharing
  
• Exploration of how quickly their relationship has grown since they haven’t known each other for very long, and how that affects them in the long-term
• Any kind of fix-it

Laudna/Imogen Temult

They're in love, your honor. They complement each other so well and it's clear that they would do anything for each other, especially considering how much trauma they both have in their lives.

Prompts:

• Laudna and Imogen traveling alone together, when Laudna was semi-feral and Imogen was on a quest
• Slow burn Laudna realizing that she's falling in love with Imogen when she didn't think she would ever be capable of love again since she isn't alive (I wrote this prompt before this was literal canon and I’d still love to see it from Laudna’s internal perspective)
  
• Laudna and Imogen living in a little cabin in the woods together, when everything is over

Ashton Greymoore/Orym

I didn't ship this for the longest time because I'm partial to Orym/Dorian...and then Orym gave Ashton a massage and the ship sailed. They're both dealing with a lot of shit and I feel like any relationship would have a long road ahead of it, but I'm willing to bet that Orym would be up to the challenge if Ashton was open the possibility.

Fearne Calloway/Teven Klask

Listen, we all know Teven's hot and we all know Fearne wants to hit that. She deserves a little treat after everything that's happened. Feel free to embrace canon, canon divergence, post-canon where Fearne travels to the Nine Hells, or alternate universes.

Fearne Calloway/Ashton Greymoore/Teven Klask

Basically the same as Fearne/Teven but with Ashton's involvement too. We all know Teven's hot and Ashton wants to hit that, while he and Fearne have been dancing around each other for fucking ages. Give me all that tension breaking loose.

Braius Doomseed's Whole Goddamn Fleet

Will I ever get around to giving these ships their own actual sections? Stay tuned. Sam really did show up at the live show with a hot as fuck minotaur and then flirt with the whole damn party, didn't he? I feel like Sam had some kind of awakening with the minotaur in campaign two and now he's here to make sure the same thing happens to all of us, but I digress.

Braius/Orym - Well, for starters, it's the size difference.

Braius/Dorian - Slightly obsessed with the idea of Dorian being both flattered and slightly terrified/confused by Braius's flirtations and whether he should take them seriously.

Braius/Orym/Dorian - We know that Braius is attracted to both of them, so why not?? 

Fearne/Braius - We all know that Fearne would want to try it at least once. Come on. I also wouldn't say no to Teven getting in on the action.

Braius/Ashton - Ashton is having the best time with this guy even though he's grieving and he deserves to let loose.

Fearne/Braius/Ashton - Basically the same concept as the triad with Teven. I love the idea of Braius flirting with and pursuing both of them and helping Fearne/Ashton come together.

Crossovers

Orym/Dorian Storm/Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast

This ship is brought to you by that joke someone told about Essek sandwiched between Dorian and Caleb. The dynamics of this would be fucking fascinating. I could see Caleb and Orym bonding over their shared loss, and Dorian and Essek bonding over leaving their home and family behind to seek their own life.

I may have climbed onto this ship as a funny thought of what it would be like, but I am legitimately sailing it now. I can't deal with Orym and Dorian's interactions with Essek and Caleb.

Braius Doomseed/Scanlan Shorthalt

I am just so curious, especially with Scanlan currently being a centaur. I like to imagine it being a ships in the night, met in a tavern and got a little drunk while telling stories about the Nine Hells situation. Or Braius was a one-night-stand after one of Scanlan's divorces and Braius had just gotten kicked out of the temple so they found comfort in each other and that was supposed to be it--until the Ruidas situation goes down and they run into each other again.

Fandom: MCU

Fandom DNW: 
- Character bashing of Team Cap, especially Steve Rogers and Wanda Maximoff
- Anything to do with Doctor Strange 2 that isn't America Chavez's existence
- Spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy 3 or The Marvels as I haven't seen them

Avengers

Tony Stark/Stephen Strange

Two genius assholes that would absolutely get under each other’s skin in more ways than one. I know that Stephen gave the Time Stone to Thanos because it was the only way he saw to win, but I love the idea that it had a little to do with saving Tony’s life. I also love the idea that Stephen’s ability to see into multiple futures means he’s capable of knowing about potential futures where they’re together, without Tony knowing.

Tony Stark/Stephen Strange & Peter Parker

Between Endgame and Far From Home, I’ve fallen hard for Tony and Stephen as Peter’s father figures. I'm open to any kind of parental relationship with Peter, whether's it's accidental child acquisition, adoption, biological (without description of the pregnancy), or Peter lives with Aunt Mae while Tony and Stephen are father figures in his life. I'm also open to this dynamic even if I'm only requesting Tony/Stephen.

Kate Bishop/Cassie Lang

I started shipping these two while watching Ant-Man 3. I feel like they would both have a lot to say about the Avengers--Kate having a brief relationship with Hawkeye and Cassie growing up with Ant-Man.

Prompts:

• Cassie gets into trouble and Kate rescues her
• They meet for reasons entirely unrelated to superheroing and find out about their secret identities later
  
• Cassie and her friends break into Kate's mother's place and Kate is the one who catches them
  
• Cassie's family welcoming Kate who doesn't really know how to handle being part of a close-knit family
  

Valkyrie/Jentorra

Two powerful women that would do anything for their people. I’d sell a piece of my soul to see them meet in canon, even though I don’t think it’s physically possible.

Prompts:

• Royalty AU where Valkyrie and Jentorra are queens or princesses of neighboring nations
• Jentorra somehow lands in the outside world and finds Valkyrie
  
• Something goes wrong and Valkyrie ends up in the quantum realm
  

Wanda Maximoff/Vision

The OTP that’s been fucking robbed. The literal things I would do to have a WandaVision romcom set before Infinity War. Give me all of the canon divergence, the AUs, the looks at their life together when everything was happy. When they were free of their responsibilities as Avengers and just got to be two people falling in love. All the vibes of WandaVision but without the trapped town (not that I don’t love the trapped town).

Gamora/Nebula

I really love their dynamic and I want to see more of it, especially how far they're willing to go for each other. I'm open to alternate universes, canon divergence, or a setting during canon.

Peter-Two/Peter-Three

I've been shipping this since I first watched No Way Home and I blame the dumb banter during the back cracking bit. There's also just something about the trauma bonding with these two in particular.

Peter Parker/Peter-Two/Peter-Three

I just love them so much. I could watch five hours of them just sitting around talking about being Spider-Men.

Sif/Sylvie

I had a Loki/Mobius fic where these two appeared as a brief side pairing and it awakened something inside of me. They both have very strong personalities and I think that would collide in ways that have a potential for a lot of angst before they manage to work things out. I'd also love a version of Sif giving Sylvie a tour of Asgard before it was destroyed.

Hawkeye (TV)

Yelena Belova/Kate Bishop

I fell deep and fast for these two while watching Hawkeye. I’d really love a fic that explores the idea of a Kate Bishop that uses “she/they” pronouns and her relationship with gender.

Prompts:

• Hurt/comfort where one of them gets hurt on a mission and the other has to take care of them - “I didn’t know where else to go”
  
• Yelena sees Kate in that damn black suit and wants to unwrap her like a present
  
• Established relationship future-fic where they’ve both gotten out of the game and settled down with their rescue dogs (and possibly cats) 
  

Moon Knight (TV)

Steven Grant/Marc Spector

For me, this ship all boils down to that scene in episode six when Marc says “There’s no way in hell I’m going to abandon you” and turns to stone with his hand over Steven’s. They’re the perfect combination of light and dark, in the same person.

Any configuration of how their relationship works is fine with me. Telepathy while they’re sharing a body. The ability to dream in a landscape where they have separate bodies. AUs where they’re different people. I really like the idea that Steven can cede control of specific parts of his body—like one hand—to Marc while staying fully aware and in control of the rest. I love all variations of the two of them recognizing their feelings for each other and figuring out a way to make it work.

Feel free to include Jake, Layla, and Khonshu but I would prefer the ship relationship to only be Steven and Marc.

Loki (TV)

 

Loki/Mobius M. Mobius

These two were the best part of season one. I love Mobius and I love Loki learning to trust him. The fact that Loki goes directly to Mobius after everything with Kang and Mobius doesn't remember him broke my heart. And the fact that Loki saved the entire fucking multiverse by himself and no one even really knows? Gorgeous. Doesn't mean I won't take any form of fix-it with Loki still being able to get his own happy ending.
