Fandom: The Bright Sessions

Fandom DNW: Events of The AM Archives

Adam Hayes/Caleb Michaels

Caleb and Adam are so good together and they deserve the world. I'm open to anything domestic and sweet, them exploring sex together as they get older, a university setting, or how their relationship develops as adults in the world.

Mark Bryant/Damien

Damien's "Honey, I'm home!" awakened something in me and it was this ship. In canon, I'd love to see a redemption arc for Damien (although he's going to have to work damn hard at it) and Mark getting the happiness he deserves.

There's also lots of room for a "No Powers" AU and I'd be curious to see how an entirely different upbringing would change Damien. So much of his personality is centered around how his powers have affected his ability to interact with people.

Joan Bright/Owen Thompson | Agent Green

Joan and Owen have such a bittersweet story and I want to see more of them together in a way The AM Archives came so close to giving me. I love how obviously in love Owen is even after all this time, and how Joan still has feelings for him even though she can't trust him after everything that happened with Mark.

Prompts:

• Post-canon where Joan and Owen slowly get back to trusting each other and falling in love all over again
• Canon divergence where Mark was never experimented on by the AM
  
• Accidental or drunk marriage
  
• Finding out the marriage they thought was fake when they were young is actually real and they're still married

Fandom: Dead Mount Death Play

For the purposes of canon involvement, I've watched all of the anime and I stay as caught up on the manga as a person who doesn't read Japanese can be.

Yumeji Agakura/Polka Shinoyama/Corpse God

To be honest, I'm really not sure where my brain is going with this. It's a side effect of shipping Yumeji/Polka while knowing that Corpse God is still inhabiting Polka's body and that's going to cause some effects on their relationship. Go wild. Involve as much of Corpse God's magic as you so choose.

Yumeji Agakura/Polka Shinoyama

Childhood friends! I became weak to it immediately. Yumeji clearly needs nice things and Polka is a sweet boy who also deserves nice things.

Majiri Agakura/Bao

I'm not going to lie, it's hot when these two fight, but I also love how much they both care about Xiaoyu and respect that about each other. I'd love to see more encounters so that relationship can grow.

Arase Kouzaburou/Iwanome Tsubaki

I'm always going to be weak to friends/coworkers who clearly trust each other with their lives. Iwanome takes risks and Arase is always there to have his back--or punch him if that's what he needs.

Iwanome Tsubaki/Kuruya Takumi

I can't remember the driving force behind me starting to ship this particular pairing, but it's probably because they act like they have history, and not just their history with Kuruya's criminal past. Kuruya might do things of questionable legality, but I think Iwanome would sympathize that, these days, everything he does is to protect his weird little family. I'd love to see them forced to work together.

1: Katashiro

I'm obsessed with this man and I want to know everything about him and I want to know it now. He's so powerful, but he's also such a goddamn nerd. I love him trying to make sense of Corpse God while also just being like "This is so fucking cool." 

Fandom: Chainsaw Man

Angel Devil/Hayakawa Aki

Angel and Aki deserve the world. I'm open to interpretations where Angel can't touch Aki (or, if he does, he has to wear gloves/touch over clothing only) or interpretations where Angel's curse isn't an issue and they can touch all they want. I prefer canon divergence or entirely separate AUs to actual manga canon, especially considering what happens to them.

I am willing to make an exception for fix-it fics. My kingdom for a fic where Aki survives somehow and the Angel Devil claws his way back out of hell to find him. Or maybe where they both end up in hell and have to survive. Feel free to embrace the hell (pun intended) out of angst as long as there's happiness at the end.

Fandom: Check Please!

Eric "Bitty" Bittle/Jack Zimmermann

Jack and Bitty are precious cinnamon rolls and I love them. Jack coming back after graduation to kiss Bitty, even though he has to leave. Bitty holding Jack through his panic attack. The sweet phone calls and Bittty's baking and how happy everyone is for them. Jack kissing Bitty at center ice after winning the Stanley Cup. The proposal.

Prompts:

• Sex with Bitty wearing only Jack's jersey

Adam "Holster" Birkholtz/Justin "Ransom" Oluransi

They're roommates who road trip to meet each other halfway in the summer, argue like an old married couple, and have probably made out at least once. I don't know how not to ship them. All the road trips, please.

Larissa "Lardo" Duan/Shitty Knight

More of these two please. They're so clearly in love with each other that I don't even know how to cope. They're literally together and it hurts me that we don't really get to see how any of it happened. I'm also so deeply obsessed with how smart they both are. Shitty got into Harvard and Lardo kept an entire hockey team in order, for fuck's sake.

Fandom: Code Name Verity

Julie Beaufort-Stuart/Maddie Brodatt

I read this book when it first came out and I was not the same person when I finished it. I'm pretty sure "Kiss me, Hardy, kiss me quick!" rewired my brain chemistry. I've only dared to reread it a few times because I feel like my heart is tearing out of my chest every time.

I shipped Maddie and Julie when I was still an oblivious baby bisexual who barely knew how to ship queer characters. I felt incredibly vindicated when The Pearl Thief revealed that Julie is, canonically, bisexual.

I know this is the risk I take requesting a canon set during Nazi Germany but I'd really like fic on the fluffy side rather than the dark and angsty side. I've already seen the horrors. I want to cry because I'm seeing the life Julie and Maddie could've had.

I'm open to all the AUs. Canon divergence where they were never captured. Canon divergence where they both survived. Take them entirely out of this world and into another.

Fandom: Detroit: Become Human

Fandom DNW: Gavin in any role other than Hank's coworker

Hank Anderson/Connor

What gets me about these two is I didn't really ship it on my first play-through and then I made the choices that result in Hank pushing Connor against his cubicle and my brain went "Oh." I love the progression of their relationship. Hank slowly weakening to Connor and Connor learning more about and from Hank.

Markus/Simon

These two are underrated. I've always been partial to Simon among the Jericho crew because he feels the most natural. North and Josh are written to be the two routes of the revolution, but Simon is the one in the middle. He believes in Markus. There are a lot of game routes with Simon that I haven't seen, mostly because in my early play-throughs I didn't realize it's possible for Simon to survive Stratford. Feel free to embrace any of it or go in an AU direction.

Fandom: DC’s Arrowverse

Nyssa al Ghul/Sara Lance

I'm pretty sure Sara Lance was my first experience with a canonically bisexual woman in media and their kiss was life-changing for me. They're always going to hold a special place in my heart, even when I get around to finishing Legends of Tomorrow so I can finally ship Sara/Ava.

I'm open to the possibilities with this one. Canon divergence, AU, a peek into when Nyssa and Sara first met and how they got together. Sexual attraction while training/sparring is always welcome.

1: Rory Regan

We only had him for, like, five minutes but for some reason I still manage to miss him every day. I'm down for anything with this boy.

Julian Albert/Caitlin Snow

I loved Julian way more than I ever thought I would and I wish we could have him back. He and Caitlin were so good together, especially considering what Caitlin has lost. She should get to be happy and if it can't be with Eddie, then why not with Julian? 

Laurel Lance/Tommy Merlyn

God help me these two both deserved better than what they got. They weren't always the greatest for each other, but they loved each other and I believe they could've figured it out if they had the chance. I may never process my feelings over the finale and the fact that Tommy got to have a second chance, but Laurel didn't. I just want happiness.

Fandom: Good Omens

Aziraphale/Crowley

Season two has made me go entirely feral and I’ll take EVERYTHING while I impatiently await the arrival of season three. The fact that they’ve been in love for thousands of years is scalding. I love Crowley watching Aziraphale eat like he could do it for the rest of time. Aziraphale looking at Crowley like he’s seeing him for the first time when he saved the books in WWII. Crowley bending the rules, showing Aziraphale that a demon can be good and an angel can be bad. The way Crowley confesses his feelings for Aziraphale like every word is being ripped out of his throat. The DANCE.

Prompts:

• Fix-it fic (unusual interpretations to the Coffee Theory are welcomed—did it break Aziraphale’s connection to the bookshop? Force Aziraphale to believe that the only way Crowley can return to heaven is as an angel?)
• Alternate versions of The Kiss
  
• Different meetings and miracles performed across history
  
• Domestic fluff and smut that'll heal my heart
  
• Maggie and Nina catching Aziraphale and giving him “The Talk” before he manages to leave
  
• Explanation for how Aziraphale learned to dance when in season one it’s canon that he’s the only angel that can dance and he only knows the gavotte?
  
• Aziraphale tasting food for the first time and going completely overboard makes me wonder what would happen if he was introduced to, say, sex
  
• Feel free to pull from the & Muriel and & Bentley ideas from below, even if the request is strictly Aziraphale/Crowley.
  

Aziraphale/Crowley & Muriel

I'd love fix-it fics and/or fluff that involve Muriel. I love them and I'd love to see Aziraphale and Crowley living out their happy retirement in the country and Muriel coming around with some new book they've found (probably one Aziraphale has already read a dozen times but he pretends to be interested anyway). Perhaps Aziraphale returns from heaven afraid that his bookshop has been ransacked in his absence and discovers that Muriel has failed to sell anything because they have no idea how.

Aziraphale/Crowley & The Bentley

I LOVE Aziraphale calling The Bentley "our car" and the little changes he makes on his road trip. Perhaps when everything is over, Aziraphale and Crowley can go on a nice scenic drive looking for their new country home. I'd also love to see the Bentley parent trapping them into getting together, or locking the doors and refusing to let them out until they've talked about their feelings.

Beelzebub/Gabriel

And here’s the ship that I didn’t expect to fall so hard so quickly for in canon. I’m obsessed. The moment when they both started singing the song, send help. I want more. More secret meetings and more of the two of them building their lives together on Alpha Centauri. Maybe them coming to tea with Crowley and Aziraphale once every few decades (time is a little fuzzy on a star).

Fandom: Heroes

Peter Petrelli/Sylar | Gabriel Gray

There aren’t many ships where I can point to the exact moment where I started shipping them but this is one. It was “The Wall.” It was Peter and Sylar trapped alone together in a world of their own making. It was Peter giving Sylar a gift. It was the two of them breaking through the wall together. It was Sylar asking Peter if any of it was real. I was an immediate goner.

Prompts:

• AU where Peter meets Sylar before he becomes a murderer
• Post-canon showing how Peter and Sylar’s relationship development after everything they experienced in Sylar’s mind
• Anything to do with their time spent trapped inside the walls of Sylar's mind

Fandom: Fence (Comics)

I am very sad to be caught up through volume six of the comics because it means that I have to wait to see if we're ever going to get more. I tried to read the Sarah Rees Brennan tie-in novels, but the characterization didn't feel at all right to me.

Nicholas Cox/Seiji Katayama

I am so weak to both rivals and roommates to lovers.  I love these two and the slow development of their relationship. Nicholas annoying Seiji by leaving his underwear on the floor all the time. Nicholas getting up early to train and Seiji actually teaching him. The two of them sitting by the fountain and looking up at the moon in silence. The date! Seiji wearing Nicholas's coat! (It's a crime that we didn't get to see Nicholas give it to him, by the way.) Seiji choosing to stay at King's Row because Nicholas is there. I love them so much.

Bobby Rodriguez/Dante Rossi

Another roommates to lovers ship! I love their friendship but I'm pining so hard for them to be together. Feel free to embrace exploration of the gender Bobby has going on because I love everything about him.

Aiden Kane/Harvard Lee

These two are killing me. They're both so obviously in love and Aiden is so afraid of fucking everything up and I just want to shove their faces together and make them kiss. I love them pushing their beds together so they have one giant bed to share and I love Aiden abandoning his date to spend time with Harvard instead. Also, the volume six reveal that Aiden's always thought Harvard is straight and the punch to his gut when Harvard mentions he's going on a date with a guy. The fact that Aiden was planning a picnic movie date that Harvard never got to see.

Also, the fact that the teddy bear Aiden sleeps with at night was given to him by Harvard.

Fandom: The Hunger Games (Movies)

Fandom DNW: Capitol-typical body modification of requested characters. Depictions of the abuse that Finnick suffered at the hands of the Capitol (references are fine).

I was a teenager when the books came out so, naturally, I read all of them at the height of their popularity. Mockingjay was probably the first time I felt deeply betrayed by a book. I bought it the day it came out, read it in a single afternoon, and never fully recovered.

And, unlike ninety-nine percent of books, I actually prefer the movie canon. They did such an incredible job bringing the books to life. I rewatched all four of them recently and it reignited both my love for the series and my insatiable need for fanfiction.


Annie Cresta/Finnick Odair

I just love them so much. Finnick is one of those character deaths I will never forgive. After everything he's been through, he deserves to be happy with Annie forever. Their story breaks my heart. The fact that Finnick survived the Games only to essentially be sold by Snow to the Capitol citizens as a teenager. He could never really be with Annie because no one could know. Even confessing his love to her before the Quarter Quell, he had to make it seem like he wasn't talking to anyone in particular.

Katniss Everdeen/Peeta Mellark

Even when I hated Mockingjay, the "You love me. Real or not real?" part has never left me. I've always appreciated the way Peeta has loved Katniss since day one, but she falls in love slowly and doesn't realize it until she's in too deep. I also love that Catching Fire is basically the two of them constantly almost dying to save the other, while everyone around them is just trying to keep them alive long enough they can both get out. Then Mockingjay is Katniss being plagued with guilt for being the survivor, and trying to get Peeta to come back to her.

Haymitch Abernathy/Effie Trinket

A special thanks to the movies for giving me this ship. The little kiss on the cheek and "Don't be a stranger." Effie's character development across the series is a masterpiece and Haymitch deserves a chance to find his own happiness in the wake of everything.

Fandom: Inception

Arthur/Eames

Inception has been my answer to "What's your favorite movie" since it came out and these two are my eternal OTP. I'm so weak to the "bickering like an old married couple" dynamic combined with the fact that they clearly trust each other. They work in a dangerous industry where trust is thin on the ground and yet Arthur still knows where Eames is. Also, there's always "Don't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling."

I'm very open to canon divergence, pre-canon, and post-canon. I love seeing their early days working together and I love to see what happened after Inception was over. Mission fics are 100% fair game and delve into the world-building as much or as little as you want.

Fandom: Kingdom Hearts

Axel/Roxas

Confession time: I've only played KH2 because my copy of KH was scratched and I couldn't get past the first cut-scene without my PS2 freezing and needing to try again. I haven't played KH3 but I did watch my wife's play-through. I couldn't cope with Axel sitting on the roof with ice cream and missing Roxas.

You can do pretty much whatever you want with canon and I won't notice because I don't remember it well enough. Feel free to incorporate other characters as desired and draw from any canon. I know enough that I'm not worried about any spoilers. The important thing is that Axel and Roxas are happy.

Fandom: Kingsman

Harry Hart | Galahad/Merlin

I really love the dynamic of two very competent men finding each other later in life. Their positions as Kingsmen also lend well to protective behavior that crosses the line into possessive and various situations that would cause jealousy, like undercover missions where the other one has to listen in to provide back-up.

Fix-its are encouraged. Alternate fix-its for Harry. Fix-its for Merlin. Or just avoid his canon death entirely. I'm going to be honest, I don't really remember the events of the second movie because I blocked most of it out.

Fandom: Knives Out

Fandom DNW: References to COVID, even if Glass Onion did it first

Whiskey/Peg

This started out as an impulse and has turned into a full-blown ship of mine. Other than Blanc and Helen, they’re probably the only two level-headed people on the island and I love the idea of them coming together and finding a better life in the ashes of the Disruptors. I feel like Peg would be an incredible admin and/or campaign manager for Whiskey's ambitions in politics.

Prompts:

• Whiskey and Peg join forces post-canon, developing their own empire together
• Away from everyone else, Whiskey and Peg get drunk and bond over the ridiculous people they have to work with
  

Benoit Blanc/Phillip

We only see Phillip for five seconds, but I want to know everything about him and his relationship with Benoit. What does he do when he's not trapped at home with his sourdough starter? How'd they meet? Does he help with Benoit's cases at all or is he happy to listen to him rambling as he tries to work out the puzzle?

Fandom: Leverage

Alec Hardison/Elliot Spencer/Parker

The OT3! I really wish they would let this be canon but alas that’s never going to happen. I'm obsessed with their closeness and dynamic. Elliot and Alec's angry banter. Parker being the weird one that gets under both their skin. The fact that they'd do anything for each other and they embrace each other's strengths.

Elliot's always been my favorite character, and not just because it's hot af when he fights. It's the singing, the cooking, the horses, and the fact that he'd do anything for the ones he loves. He still falls in love easily, even if it isn't going to work out. It could, if he could just be allowed to love Alec and Parker.

Alec is so smart and he cares so much. He's the heart of this weird little band of thieves, even as much as he is the brains.

Parker is so unhinged and I love that for her. I embrace both asexual and autistic headcanons. She's smart, and strong, and fearless in so many ways.

Fandom: Lucifer

Fandom DNW: Spoilers past season three. I swear I'm going to catch up one day.

Marcus Pierce/Lucifer

Lucifer and Marcus was a missed opportunity. I mean, "After all, you might be the only person on this planet that truly understands me." That means something and I wish they'd explored it more. Wing fic is highly encouraged.

This scene straight-up rewired my brain chemistry.

Watch on YouTube

Fandom: Lycoris Recoil

Inoue Takina/Nishikigi Chisato

Opposites attract! It's a crime that these two aren't canon. They honeymoon in Hawaii for fuck's sake.

Mika/Yoshimatsu Shinji

These two were basically married before their differing ideals tore them apart. I'm really not sure what else I'm supposed to take away from that scene in the hotel room with in goddamn bath robes. I'd love to see their early days explored, before Chisato. Back when they were stealing nights in hotel rooms and kissing in alleys. I'm also open to post-canon fix-its where they both survive and try to repair their broken relationship.

Fandom: The Man from UNCLE

Illya Kuryakin/Napoleon Solo

I do love two men that are excellent at getting under each other’s skin, but also still care about each other. The scene where Illya rescues Napoleon from Uncle Rudi also just has the best “You took what’s mine so now you won’t see mercy from me” vibes.

Illya Kuryakin/Napoleon Solo/Gaby Teller

My OT3. I love the dynamic between the three of them--a trio of very intelligent people who are used to working alone forced to work together as a team. I hate that we never got a sequel to this movie because I wanted them to actually BE a team. And I appreciate that Gaby is capable of giving back whatever Illya and Napoleon can dish out. I live for the scene where Gaby antagonizes Illya until he wrestles with her and then falls asleep before they kiss. Also, Napoleon saving Illya's father's watch even though he didn't have to.

Fandom: Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury

Suletta Mercury/Miorine Rembran

The first episode is LITERALLY an accidental engagement plot and I'd love to lean into that. Everything on the show hurts and I just want them to be happy and in love, but I'd be happy to see that in an AU where perhaps their marriage is politically motivated or their fighting to change the marriage laws because Miorine is engaged to someone else.

Post-canon is also encouraged. Show me their wedding. Show me them figuring out their married life in the wake of so much trauma. Show me them building a home for themselves.

Fandom: Our Flag Means Death

For what it's worth, I know a lot of people have sticking points with season two, but I loved it. I wish they'd had more episodes so the end pacing wasn't rushed and fuck Zaslav personally for the fact that we're never going to see how it's meant to end.

Fandom DNW: Details of body mutilation (references to the canonical is fine, please don't describe it)

Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet

I'm weirdly not sure what to say here. I love these two. Both iterations of "You wear fine things well" (the one from season two has been my phone background ever since). Ed teaching Stede how to fight and Stede teaching Ed how the other half lives. In the immortal words of Stede Bonnet, "Just have fun with it." 

Prompts:

• Post-canon Ed and Stede building their inn and all the trials and tribulations that involves. Stede presumably has enough financial knowledge to run an estate, but what about getting a business off the ground? 
• Mary and Doug coming to visit with the kids once the inn's ready for actual guests
• Open door scenes of their first time
• Alternate first times or later times. I love all interpretations of Stede having sex for the first time with someone he really loves.
• Stede and Ed dancing. We were robbed during Calypso's Birthday
• Ed tells Stede about his mother

Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet/Israel Hands

If you'd told me after season one that I'd be sitting here requesting not one but two Izzy ships, I'd have thought we were in the Twilight Zone. Season two really changed his whole world--and mine. The "I have love for you" killed me. I really love the way Izzy's relationship with Stede progresses. Teaching him how to be a pirate and Izzy just randomly hanging out in Stede's rooms.

I'd love a world where Izzy lives and they get to build a relationship among the three of them. It can be a true triad or Ed can be in a relationship with both Ed and Izzy while Stede and Izzy remain platonic.

Israel Hands/Lucius Spriggs

The indirect kiss when Izzy takes the cigarette out of Lucius's mouth, smokes it, and puts it back in his mouth is something that's stuck with me far longer than it probably should. I feel like Izzy has a lot to learn from Lucius, in terms of Lucius being so comfortable with who he is.

Archie/Oluwande Boodhari/Jim Jimenez

These three! I adored Jim and Olu's relationship in season one and I'm a little sad that they're time apart disrupted the momentum and we didn't really get to explore what they are to each other now. I like the way Jim and Archie support each other during the Dark Times and I'd like to see how the three of them could build a relationship together.

I'm open to either Jim dating both Oluwande and Archie or all three of them dating each other. Oluwande's only really known Archie for about five minutes in comparison to how long he's known Jim, so I'm intensely curious over how that would pan out.

Archie/Oluwande Boodhari/Ching Shih | Zheng Yi Sao/Jim Jimenez

Officially adding this to the list since I'm never going to get to see how Zheng fits into the canon group. I'm open to really any configuration of dating within the polycule. I feel like Zheng would have no idea what to do with Archie but I feel like Archie would very much know what she wants to do with Zheng.

Fandom: Perilous Courts

Kazia Dire/Lucien Vaire

I've read all six Perilous Courts books, but these two have made me go absolutely feral. I've read Prince of Agony three times and it's possible the second time was immediately after the first. I just love them so fucking much.

After everything that Kazia has been through, it really is amazing that he can still care about people. He's so much smarter than anyone has ever given him credit for and I never thought I would be so glad to see him sitting on the Draskoran throne.

And Lucien. The way he teases and bickers with Kazia but cares for him so much that he'd do anything to make sure no one ever hurts Kazia again. Making sure that Kazia eats when he's drunk without letting on that's what he's doing. Ordering Kazia's favorite breakfast pastries even though Kazia's never told anyone that they're his favorite.

Go nuts. Lucien using magic to give Kazia a massage. Kazia comforting Lucien during a storm even though Lucien refuses to admit they still bother him. The two of them exploring collar play together. I've always been consumed with the idea of them experimenting with sensory play that's adjacent to impact play--like with a rabbit fur flogger or something equally soft.

Feel free to incorporate the other main characters. I love them all and I'm obsessed with Kazia building his relationships with Vana and Marek. I'd also love to see Kazia talking to Whisper about phylacteries, or Sei about being a grail.

Fandom: The Reason Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion (Anime/Webnovel)

Adam Taylor/Noah Wynknight

I'm a sucker for the loyal bodyguard trope. I love their relationship and the clear trust that they have in each other. I'd like to see how that trust could translate to a relationship.

Prompts:

• Noah seems like an excellent candidate for the "getting caught masturbating on purpose by crush" trope
• A series of misunderstandings where Noah is trying so hard to get Adam's attention in a romantic/sexual sense and Adam is just not getting the hint
  

Adam Taylor/Noah Wynknight/Raeliana

Still a sucker for the loyal bodyguard trope but with Raeliana involved. The scene where they rescue her from being kidnapped and then she shoots right between Brooks’s legs is iconic. Also, Raeliana giving Adam sweets.

Prompts:

• Raeliana finds out Adam doesn't know when his own birthday is and she endeavors to celebrate it anyway.

Noah Wynknight/Keith Westenberg

I just feel like there’s something there, like maybe they were friends with benefits once and then feelings got involved on Keith’s end and now he has a drive to protect Noah and he can’t believe he’s actually in love with Raeliana when Noah was never in love with him.

Prompts:

• Boarding school friends with benefits develop feelings

Keith Westenberg/Adam Taylor

I assume these two would run into each other often, considering they’re both close with Noah.

Prompts:

• Keith and Adam are both in unrequited love with Noah and they bond over the fact that he’s never going to notice them

Ansley/Raeliana McMillan

I would've been all-in on this ship in canon if I didn't love Raeliana and Noah so much. I love Ansley practically being swept off her feet by Raeliana before the hunt.

Fandom: Red, White, & Royal Blue

Beatrice Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor/Nora Holleran

Someone made an off-hand comment about Beatrice and Nora getting together post-canon on Discord once and I’ve been consumed by it ever since. I like the idea of Beatrice getting Nora out of her head and Nora being a grounding influence. Not to mention they could take the world by storm together.

Prompts:

• Nora does a bit of contract work for Beatrice's non-profit
  
• Like Henry and Alex, Nora and Beatrice's Facetiming slowly turns to more
  
• Nora goes through with her plan to statistically model future events and retreat into the woods to observe from afar and Beatrice surprises her by showing up at her door
• Henry brings Beatrice to the lake house for the annual Claremont-Diaz get-together

Fandom: Reign of the Seven Spellblades (Anime)

Oliver Horn/Pete Reston

I loved this anime far more than I expected to. Please no manga spoilers as I've only experienced anime canon. Feel free to explore what being a reversi means for Pete and his relationship with gender.

I've been shipping Oliver/Pete almost since day one. They're roommates and Oliver clearly cares about Pete so much. Not to mention Oliver helping Pete when he discovers he's a reversi and then the moment when they reunite at the end of the season and Pete is crying in Oliver's arms.

Prompts:

• Fluffy moments down in their lair--whether with Oliver and Pete or all of the Sword Roses
• Post season-one confession of feelings between Oliver and Pete
  
• Pete taking advantage of his magical body changes to come on to Oliver only to learn that Oliver liked him before

Fandom: Schitt's Creek

Alexis Rose/Twyla Sands

The end of the show where Alexis says goodbye and invites Twyla to visit her sometime in New York DID THINGS TO ME. I'd love to see how a relationship could develop between them post-canon. There's also something to be said about the fact that Twyla's been there through Alexis's time in Schitt's Creek, the ups and downs of her relationship with Ted, and the resulting character development.

And Alexis and Twyla have both lived WILD lives based on the random anecdotes they tell, if it very different ways. It doesn't feel like they should be an obvious fit, but that's what makes them good together.

Fandom: Scholomance

Galadriel "El" Higgins/Orion Lake

I love El and Orion SO MUCH and I just want them to be happy. I live for El pushing everyone away but also wanting to save her entire graduating class, even if no one else believes it's possible. Orion's hero complex and his love for El.

Feel free to embrace Orion's inhuman side or simply canon divergence that whole thing out of existence. I'm still not sure how I feel about that. A deep unbridled hatred for his mother, mostly.

Prompts:

• World-building of the magic system, the enclaves, Scholomance itself
• What's a marriage ceremony like within the school?
• Canon divergence where everything goes according to plan and El's dream of traveling the world with Orion comes true

Fandom: Sense8

Hernando Fuentes/Lito Rodriguez

Their relationship is gorgeous and I'd be happy to see how it started or what happened with them post-canon. I'd also be open to an AU, especially one where Lito isn't forced to come out. Feel free to involve Daniela in a platonic or sexual fashion, although I prefer her as an observer than a participant.

Amanita Caplan/Nomi Marks

They're perfect and I want more of everything about them. Their obvious love and loyalty to each other is my favorite thing. Amanita rescued her from a hospital. Life goals.

Wolfgang Bogdanow/Kala Dandekar

I've loved these two since the beginning and I'd love anything to do with them--past or future. I live for Wolfgang's confidence, and Kala's independence, and "Thank god for gravity" and that scene where Kala uses her chemistry knowledge to save Wolfgang's life. I also love Wolfgang overcoming the idea that he's a monster who harms anyone who gets close to him.

Wolfgang Bogdanow/Kala Dandekar/Rajan Rasal

I'm obsessed with the fact that the OT3 is actually canon at the end of the movie. I'd love to see post-canon with the three of them navigating their new relationship. How do Wolfgang and Rajan cope with the fact that they're both so in love with Kala? Where do they settle down? Does being with Wolfgang and Kala awaken anything in Rajan? 

Fandom: Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis

Vala Mal Doran/Daniel Jackson

It's been a decade since I watched it but I don't think I'm ever going to recover from "Unending." Daniel’s “You better not be messing with me.” Vala realizing her feelings for Daniel are real. The two of them growing old together on the ship. I want it again—for good this time. It breaks my entire heart that Teal'c is the only one who remembers it all.

There's also that whole thing where Vala and Daniel had to pretend to be married because they were inhabiting the bodies of a married couple under Ori rule and then Daniel had to watch Vala be burned to death and brought back. Crime that we didn't get a love confession after all that.

Fandom: Stranger Things

Fandom DNW: Character bashing of Steve, Eddie, or Jonathan. Eddie in a relationship with a woman (especially Hellcheer) just isn't for me. Discussion of Billy's death is fine, but I would prefer not to see him.

Robin Buckley/Chrissy Cunningham

The idea of Chrissy surviving Vecna and bonding with Robin over the trauma resulting from the Upside-Down lives rent-free in my head. They're both sweet and slightly awkward girls that deserve the world and I think they should get it together.

Prompts:

• AUs where the Upside-Down doesn't exist will also be adored. I'd love to see Chrissy and Robin finding each other and bonding, even if it's through the old trope of "lab partners" or "assigned to do a project together."
• Robin and Chrissy both stay late after a game

Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson

Been a while since I've fallen for a juggernaut in this particular fandom, but Eddie says "Harrington's got her, don't ya, big boy?" and I was gone. The fact that they're basically Dustin's dads didn't help. I embrace all Eddie fix-it headcanons, including but not limited the ones where he's Kas or the ones where he's a vampire.

Fandom: Tortall

Fandom DNW: Numair with anyone other than Daine during or after the events of the Immortals quartet. For this ship, if it's a canonical timeline/setting, I want his Arram Draper years.

Numair Salmalín/Veralidaine Sarrasri

These two are one of my original OTPs. I've been in love with these books for almost as long as I can remember and I didn't expect to be hit in the chest with a ship when I got to Realms of the Gods, but it happened anyway. I'm also certain that this is my age gap ship origin story but I digress.

I love the progression from mentor/student to equals traveling together. They're both legendary mages in their own right and they work so well together, both in battle and without.

Numair Salmalín/Ozorne Muhassin Tasikhe or Varice Kingsford/Numair Salmalín/Ozorne Muhassin Tasikhe

I'm *convinced* that if the sequel to Tempests and Slaughter ever comes out, we're going to get confirmation that Numair is bi and had feelings for Ozorne in their younger years. There's something about a group of ambitious and powerful young mages that just brings a great dynamic to a pairing. I'd like to see how they all fit together before everything fell apart.

George Cooper/Jonathan of Conté

This is a ship that I didn't appreciate at all in my younger years and very much missed out on until I was rereading the quartet last fall. These two would be fire together. The (future) king of Tortall and the King of Thieves. We know that they spend time with each other and confide in each other. We know that George is one of the few people that Jon trusts beyond all others--he shows it by choosing George as his freaking Spymaster.

And the scene where Alanna's wearing a dress at George's mother's house and George shows up with Jon! The focus of that scene is them witnessing Alanna in a dress so we never get an answer to the real question at hand: Why is George introducing Jon to his mother??

Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau/George Cooper/Thayet jian Wilima/Jonathan of Conté

Another ship that I didn't appreciate enough before my re-read. No one is closer to these four than each other. No one. I love the idea of the four of them being together. We see Alanna's relationships with George and Jonathan first-hand and I'm convinced that if Alanna was allowed to be canonically and freely bisexual, we would've seen something similar with Thayet rather than Liam.

Like, can we talk about how Alanna goes on about how beautiful Thayet is and how she knows instantly that Jonathan is going to fall for her? Perhaps the reason why she knows that is because Alanna knows she and Jonathan are so alike and therefore if she's falling instantly in love with Thayet, Jonathan is bound to do the same.

Fandom: Undead Girl Murder Farce

Arsene Lupin/Phantom

This anime is wild and I loved every minute of it (even if I have no idea what happened during the werewolf arc). I’m still laughing at my wife thinking “That looks like the Phantom” during the opening and he showed up and it’s literally Erik. I love him and the weird dynamic he has with Arsene. 

Prompts:

• Domestic moments with Arsene and Erik. How do they spend their time together? How much does Erik want to push Arsene out of a moving carriage?
• Steamy moments. “I’m bored, wanna have sex?” spur of the moment smut or “We’ve been near each other too long and I can’t take it anymore” smut or “I thought you were dead” life-affirming smut. Any of it. All of it.

Fandom: The Vampire Dies in No Time

Draluc/Ronaldo

They're roommates. One of them is a vampire hunter and the other is a vampire. This was simply inevitable. I love Draluc turning into sand, Ronaldo’s fear of celery, and literally everything about John (yes I do have a plushie).

Prompts:

• Draluc and Ronaldo feelings realization. Which one realizes first? How long do they resist it? 
• Intensely curious about whether it's possible for them to have sex for the first time without Draluc turning to sand
  
• Domestic moments with Draluc, Ronaldo, and John at home
  
• Tou Handa's wild scheme has the accidental consequences of getting Ronaldo and Draluc together
  

Sagyou & Burdy

I don't usually do non-ship requests but I had to do this one. I need it. The moment when Sagyou meets Burdy and Burdy is just speed-running courting him right there is my favorite thing to happen in the entire anime. Just give me Sagyou adjusting to his new life with a vampiric burdock root.

Fandom: Vespertine

Artemisia/The Revenant

I have a terrible weakness for non-human beings struggling with human feelings and learning about humans. I love it. I love "I don't care about you, but if you die then where would I be" when they're trying to hide how much they really do care. I'm into any timeline with this one--during canon, post-canon, an AU. I'd love to see Artemisia trying to be domestic and the Revenant just being like "Do we have to?"

Fandom: Yuukoku no Moriarty | Moriarty the Patriot (Anime/Manga)

When it comes to canon, I've only watched the anime so far but I don't mind manga spoilers if they're necessary, especially with William/Sherlock post-canon.

Mycroft Holmes/Albert James Moriarty

There was just something about the scene where Albert trusts Mycroft with The Plan that turned a light bulb on in my brain. Two older brothers doing their best to keep their younger brothers safe despite all efforts to the contrary—how could I not? I’d love to see how a relationship could develop from commiseration and shared secrets.

Louis James Moriarty/William James Moriarty

I'm weak to brother relationships where they'll each do anything to protect the other, that “us against the rest of the world” dynamic. As long as they’re over 16, I’m open to anything. Experimentation. Romantic love. “No one can ever know you like I do” codependence.

Sherlock Holmes/William James Moriarty

That ending was one of the gayest things I’ve ever seen in anime and I’ve watched actual BL. I don’t want it to end there. They’re just such an excellent enemies to lovers pair and I love the idea that the attraction has been there since the beginning. I'm opting in 100% to case fic. I haven't started the manga yet, but please feel free to embrace the idea that William and Sherlock run away to NYC post-canon.

Sherlock Holmes/Louis James Moriarty/William James Moriarty

I ship the brothers and I ship William/Sherlock so this was only natural. I’m open both to canon settings and entire AUs, including modern ones.

Prompts:

• Sherlock and William run away and build a life in NYC and Louis finds them
• William/Louis confess that they both have feelings for Sherlock so they pursue him together
  

Sebastian Moran/Fred Porlock

I just think they would be sweet together. The fact that they’re both, in a way, the muscle of the operation rather than the brains. I'm very open to fics that play with the idea of gender where Fred is concerned.

Prompts:

• Friends with benefits to lovers
• Hurt/comfort where one of them ends up badly injured and the other has to take care of them
  
• Stranded together
  

James Bond | Irene Adler/Sebastian Moran

The moment James Bonde kicked next to Moran’s face and Moran looked like he was having a sexuality crisis, I was done for. I’d love to see an Irene/James that embraces gender identity and fluidity. I love the idea of a gender non-conforming Irene and a relationship with Moran that’s more queer than heterosexual. I'm definitely interested in "roommates to lovers" interpretations.

Art Likes

I love fanart in all its many forms so I don’t have much to note when it comes to art styles. As long as it isn’t depicting my DNWs, I’m going to love it. I’m open to both explicit and fluffy art.

On a Critical Role specific note, I prefer the basis to be the official art or typical fandom interpretations rather than the appearances of the actors (i.e. I want Vax’ildan to look like Vax and not Liam).

Notes on Other Mediums

 

This is largely for Fic in a Box, but could apply to other exchanges with additional mediums beyond fic and art. As of 2024, I'm opening myself up to all mediums in the tagset for FIAB and I really do mean that. Knitting and crochet patterns are particularly encouraged. I have far too much yarn and I'd love to use up some of it creating something inspired by one of my fandoms.

General DNW

Unrequested non-con (CNC and dubious consent, as stated in likes, are always fine)
Permanent major character death, especially within the requested pairing
Terminal illness or cognitive degradation
Abortion or on-page childbirth
Hopeless/unhappy endings
Cisgender-swapping (trans and nonbinary headcanons are okay, as well as the genderfluidity of shape-shifters)
Harm of animals or children
First person narrative (unless used for epistolary format) 
Second person narrative addressing the reader (addressing another character is fine, especially if done in the source material, i.e. The Locked Tomb)
Self-harm or eating disorders
Bestiality and/or sex with shifter characters while fully shifted into animal form (partial shifts and animal characteristics such as ears or tail are fine) 
No tongue, eye, or teeth mutilation
Use of AI generation of any kind

Smut DNW

No watersports, scat, or emetophilia
Ball gags or gimp masks (improvised gags like a tie pushed into someone's mouth are okay)
Anal sex without prep and lube
Unrequested explicit sexual content with characters under 16 (aging them up is fine)
