All-Purpose Exchange Letter 2.0

Hello! I’m honored that you’re considering writing fic/creating art for me. I always appreciate treats in any and all forms.

This is a letter to cover all exchanges and—as such—it’s a bit lengthy. My general likes and DNWs will be here at the top and my many, many fandom thoughts can be found below and navigated through the table of contents.

General Likes

This is a general list of things that I normally enjoy. It’s by no means all inclusive and you’re more than welcome to deviate as long as it doesn’t involve my DNWs.

  • AUs (modern, university, coffee shop, soulmate, human, no magic, etc)
  • Fake dating
  • Only one bed
  • Marriage of convenience
  • Woke up married
  • Enemies to lovers
  • Roommates to lovers
  • Pining
  • Angry love confessions or any kind of love confessions really
  • Everyone thinks they’re already dating but they’re totally oblivious
  • Sexuality awakening
  • Domesticity
  • Possessive behavior (consensual, not stalking)
  • Hurt/comfort
  • Forced proximity
  • Hanahaki as long as there’s a positive resolution
  • Characters that become entirely unhinged when their loved ones are in danger
  • Wingfic
  • Friends with benefits develop feelings


Smut Likes

  • Smut with feelings
  • Bondage, especially shibari
  • Orgasm denial
  • Body worship
  • Praise kink
  • Switching (I very rarely adhere to strict top/bottom dynamics in shipping)
  • BDSM
  • Blindfolds
  • Consensual non-consent (roleplay, somnophilia) and dubcon (sex pollen, fuck or die, pon farr)
  • Dirty talk
  • Coming untouched
  • Size kink
  • Loss of virginity
  • Cock warming
  • Come marking, creampies, come inflation
  • Breeding kink
  • Rimming
  • Rimming after coming inside
  • Barebacking, especially for the first time
  • Overstimulation
  • Mirror sex
For additional inspiration, here's my shortlist of Smut 4 Smut tags and shortlist of Hurt/Comfort tags.

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).

General DNW

Non-con or sexual harassment of any kind (CNC and dubious consent, as stated in likes, are fine)
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)
Harm of animals or children
First or second POV narrative (first person is fine for epistolary format)
Slurs or identity-based bullying
Self-harm or eating disorders
Bestiality and/or sex with shifter characters while shifted into animal form
No tongue, eye, or teeth mutilation
Use of AI generation of any kind


Smut DNW

Non-sexual bodily fluids in a sexual context (i.e. no watersports, scat, vomiting, etc)
Ball gags or gimp masks (improvised gags like a tie pushed into someone's mouth are okay)
Anal sex without prep and lube
Explicit sexual content with characters under 16 (aging them up is fine)

Zuko/Katara

I grew up watching ATLA but I arrived to this ship rather late. The older I get, though, the more I feel like Zuko and Katara were meant to be together. They're equals, both in terms of their standing among their people and in bending ability. The episode where they're trapped in the caves together and Katara almost uses her bending to heal Zuko's scar still haunts me. I'd love a post-canon look at their relationship developing. Bonus points for Katara meeting Uncle Iroh and him basically adopting her.

Barbie (2023)

Ryan Gosling's Ken/Simu Liu's Ken

I struggle to put my enthusiasm for this ship into words. The "Beach You Off" scene and them holding hands during "I'm Just Ken" is so damn homoerotic and I just want them to give into that.

Prompts:
  • A post-canon view of Ryan's Ken and Simu's Ken trying to find their place in Barbieland without Margot Robbie's Barbie
  • Ken finds his place on a horse ranch. I'd pay actual money to see Ken meeting a horse for the first time, since he's only seen pictures and video. Simu Liu's Ken probably doesn't have the same enthusiasm for horses, but I could see him as the supportive boyfriend who is happy that Ryan's Ken is happy.
  • Where do the Kens go during girls' nights? Do they all just wander until morning? Do they all sleep together on the beach? What do they do???
  • For smut requests: I'm open to basically any interpretation of their physicality. If you want to give them genitalia, go for it. If you don't, I'd love to see them exploring sexuality on their own terms.
Boku No Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime/Manga)

I've watched the anime up to the new season (seven) and I gave up on the manga mid-way through volume 22. I don't care about spoilers if you want to incorporate them. I just ask that the fic not hinge on canon knowledge past those points because I don't have it.


Hawks/Tokoyami

I started shipping these two as a random impulse when they were two bird boys flying around during Tokoyami's work study. Tokoyami rescuing Hawks and watching over him while he was unconscious really solidified it for me. I'm a sucker for life-saving followed by hurt/comfort.

I'd love to see a slow burn romance or an AU that takes them out of canon entirely (although it would be preferable for them to still have their quirks). Bonus points for wing kink and/or Dark Shadow having opinions.

Bakugou/Kirishima

Friends to lovers. Friends to lovers. Friends to lovers. I'm also slightly obsessed with the idea of Bakugou's powers being so explosive and Kirishima being nearly invincible.

Midoriya Izuku/Todoroki Shouto

This was actually my first BNHA ship. Todoroki is my favorite character and I want him to have nice things. Precious cinnamon roll Midoriya who would also go to any lengths for his friends is definitely nice things.

Asui Tsuyu/Uraraka Ochako

I really value the friendship between these two and I think they would be cute together.

Tsukauchi Naomasa/Yagi Toshinori | All Might


This has been my main All Might ship for a long time. I'm not even really sure why, but I love the fact that they clearly have a long history and Tsukauchi knows both sides of All Might.

Amajiki Tamaki/Toogata Mirio

Tamaki and Mirio are textbook grumpy/sunshine. Tamaki is another character that I love very deeply and just want to have nice things.

Hakamata Tsunagu | Best Jeanist/Takami Keigo | Hawks

Best Jeanist is underrated and he deserves the world. Also, if I didn't ship this before the panel where Hawks shows up to "kill" him and Best Jeanist is there in his cute little sweater, I definitely did then. The anime was robbed, ya'll.

[Return to Top]

The Bright Sessions

Fandom DNW: Events of The AM Archives

Caleb/Adam

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.

Doctor Bright/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
Chainsaw Man (Anime/Manga)

Angel/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.

Check Please!

Jack/Bitty

I'm new to this fandom which is a shock considering I was basically born a hockey fan and I've read a whole lot of adult hockey romances. I loved every bit of it. 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
Holster/Ransom

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.

Lardo/Shitty


More of these two please. They're so clearly in love with each other that I don't even know how to cope.
Code Name Verity – Elizabeth Wein

Julie/Maddie

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 diverence where they both survived. Take them entirely out of this world and into another.

 
[Return to Top]

Critical Role: Campaign One

Percy/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 brother or romantically.

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 current canon is causing me deep emotional pain and 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
Critical Role: Campaign Two

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.

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 canon 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
Critical Role: Campaign Three

Fandom DNW: FCG with an actual tongue

Orym/Dorian Storm

I'm obsessed with these two and the relationship that they have. Orym has so much loss in his life and yet it's clear he's become close with Dorian. I love Orym using the Sending Stone to talk to him, even if it can only be a short message, even if he knows that it'll probably never reach him. I miss Dorian every fucking day and according to E79, so does Orym.

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

Ashton/Milo

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

FCG/FRIDA

I didn’t expect this but I’m loving it so much. It’s nice for them both to have someone that truly knows and understands them, while also keeping their friends.

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

Laudna/Imogen

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/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.

Crossover

Caleb Widogast (Critical Role)/Thom of Trebond (Tortall)

I'm OBSESSED with the very idea of this. They're two powerful, young, and ambitious mages who want to prove themselves. I'm open to a setting in either world or an entirely separate AU. I just want Caleb "I'm going to develop time travel to save my parents" Widogast with Thom "Don't tell me I can't WAKE THE DEAD" of Trebond. I'm not sure if they'd temper each other or if they'd accidentally combine to destroy the world.

I've also become obsessed with the idea of Thom meeting Caleb and Essek. Like, who better to understand Essek betraying his kingdom for magical knowledge than someone who betrayed his kingdom for magical knowledge.

Elizabeth Swan (Pirates of the Caribbean)/Valkyrie (MCU)

My brain came up with this on a whim while I was thinking about female characters who carry the title of King and I imprinted on it almost immediately. The Pirate King and the King of Asgard. They'd be unstoppable.

 
[Return to Top]

 
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.

[Return to Top]
Detroit: Become Human

Hank/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.

[Return to Top]
 
Dungeon Meshi | Delicious in Dungeon (Anime)

Marcille Donato/Falin Touden

They're in love, your honor. I am (for now) anime only so please don't incorporate manga spoilers. These two are hopeless lesbians and I want more of them. Pre-canon relationship? Canon divergence with The Bath? 


[Return to Top]
 
 
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

Edgin/Xenk

I'm a sucker for the serious one/goofy one trope, but also I love that Xenk has faith in Edgin even when Edgin doesn't have faith in himself. I'd love to see more exploration on how they would get together and what roadblocks they'd run into when trying to make it work. I imagine there would be a lot of miscommunication, giving Edgin's tendency toward jokes and Xenk taking everything literally.

Doric/Wood Elf Prisoner

I maintain that it was a missed opportunity for Doric not to be a queer and also in love with the wood elf that she saves. I also hate that the wood elf doesn't have a name.


[Return to Top]
DC’s Arrowverse

Sara/Nyssa

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.


[Return to Top]
 
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 ever get more. I haven't read the Sarah Rees Brennan tie-in novels at the time of editing this letter, but I will.


Nicholas/Seiji


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/Dante

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/Harvard

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.

[Return to Top]

 
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).


[Return to Top]
 
Heroes

Peter/Sylar

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
 
The Hunger Games (Movies)

Fandom DNW: Capitol-typical body modification of requested characters

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/Finnick

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.

Katniss/Peeta


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.


Haymitch/Effie


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.

[Return to Top]
 
 
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.



[Return to Top]
Kingdom Hearts

Axel/Roxas

This is where I confess that I've only played Kingdom Hearts 2, but I watched my wife play Kingdom Hearts 3 and 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. I just want Axel and Roxas to be happy.

 
[Return to Top]

Kingsman

Harry/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.

[Return to Top]

 
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.

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/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?

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. When it comes to Parker, I embrace both asexual and autistic headcanons.

Lucifer

Fandom DNW: Spoilers past season three. I haven't had time to catch up in ages and I can't actually remember where we stopped watching.

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.

Lycoris Recoil

Mika/Shinji

These two were basically married before their differing ideals tore them apart. I'd love to see their early days explored, before Chisato. Back when they were stealing nights in hotel rooms and kissing in alleys.

The Man from UNCLE

Illya/Napoleon

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/Napoleon/Gaby

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.

Marvel Cinematic Universe


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.

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

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.

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.

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. I'm open to alternate universes, canon divergence, or a setting during canon, as long as it doesn't include the events of GOTG3 because I still haven't seen it.

[Return to Top]
 
Mo Dao Zu Shi/The Untamed

Jiang Yanli/Wen Qing

I thought about them together during the scenes when Wen Qing is treating Jiang Cheng after the destruction of his golden core and I've been consumed by it every since. They're two women powerful in their own way that would do anything to protect their younger brothers and there's something so poetic about that. They both deserve to have nothing bad happen to them ever. I'm open to basically any scenario, whether it's a slice of life fic that's canon compliant, canon divergence, or an entirely separate AU.

Song Lan/Xiao Xingchen/Xue Yang

My hyperfixation. I wasn't really into it until Xue Yang was thinking about how he'd always wanted to eat candy every day after Xiao Xingchen's death and I shouted, "ARE THEY SAYING XIAO XINGCHEN IS THE CANDY?" I very much want Xue Yang to be subbing because he's a very bratty sub who needs to be taken down. Feel free to embrace the more violent aspects of their relationship (within reason). Weapons play and bloodplay are both fair game. I'd also enjoy a softer side, Xiao Xingchen taking care of Xue Yang and giving him the gentle treatment that he's literally never experienced in his life. Song Lan can watch Xiao Xingchen and Xue Yang or he can be an active participant.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury (Anime)

Suletta/Miorine

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.

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


Stede/Ed


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." 

Stede/Ed/Izzy

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.

Izzy/Lucius

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/Jim

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/Jim/Zheng

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.

Perilous Courts - Tavia Lark
 
 
 
Kazia Dire/Lucien Vaire

I've read all six Perilous Courts books, but these two have made me go absolutely feral. It's entirely possible that I finished Prince of Agony in less than 24 hours and then convinced myself to start reading it again almost immediately. 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.

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.

I don't normally make requests for omegaverse or mpreg, but the idea of omega Kazia and alpha Lucien is consuming me. Especially after Lucien and Kazia have the conversation about how fire magic makes more sense for a dragon house than storm magic. I imagine it would take Kazia a long time to warm up to the idea of having children because what if they're grails like him, but I also imagine that he'd want Lucien's kids so badly that it would kill him to admit it out loud.

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
Red, White, & Royal Blue – Casey McQuiston

Beatrice/Nora

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.

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
Reign of the Seven Spellblades (Anime)

Oliver Horn/Pete Reston

I loved this anime far more than I expected to. I have the manga ready to read but I haven't even started yet so please no spoilers. 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
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.

Scholomance – Naomi Novik

El/Orion

I love El and Orion SO MUCH and I just want them to be happy. Feel free to embrace Orion's inhuman side or simply canon divergence that whole thing out of existence. I'm curious what a marriage ceremony would be like within the school, but I'd also love to see them getting married and building a life together post-graduation. Maybe everything goes according to plan and El's dream of traveling the world with Orion comes true.

Sense8

Hernando/Lito

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 out.

Nomi/Amanita

They're perfect and I want more of everything about them. Their obvious love and loyalty to each other is my favorite thing.

Wolfgang/Kala

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.

Wolfgang/Kala/Rajan

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?

Shadow & Bone/Six of Crows (Books/TV series)

Fandom DNW: On-page presence of Wylan's father

Nikolai Lantsov/Dominik Vertov

There simply isn't enough content for these two in the world. I'm fine with anything that explores their backstory together or the events of the show. Bodyguard AU. Royalty AU where Nikolai's right to the throne isn't in question. Or even Nikolai as Sturmhond.

Stargate SG-1

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.

[Return to Top]
 
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/Chrissy

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
The Tarot Sequence – K.D. Edwards

Mayan/Lord Tower and Rune/Addam

I would really love to see more of the domestic lives of these two pairings. The books are wonderful but SO MUCH happens and we don't get to see the quieter side of the relationships. Mayan and Lord Tower are two powerful people, but what is their relationship like behind closed doors? What do Rune and Addam do when they're not constantly getting pulled into danger? Alllllll the fluff (and maybe also the smut).

For Rune/Addam, don't feel like you have to ignore Rune's trauma because of my non-con DNW, but please focus on his PTSD in the present. Canon goes into enough detail of the events.

And by all means, I'd love to embrace anything in the fix-it realm for Lord Tower.

[Return to Top]
 
Tortall – Tamora Pierce

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/Daine

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/Ozorne or Varice/Numair/Ozorne

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.

Jon/George

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/George/Thayet/Jonathan

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.

Undead Girl Murder Farce (Anime)

Arsene/Erik

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.
The Vampire Dies in No Time (Anime)

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.

Vespertine – Margaret Rogerson

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?"

X-Men: First Class

Armando/Alex

I'll take fix-its, canon divergence, and AUs to deal with Darwin's nonsense death. When it comes to this ship, I just have Alex's face playing in a loop in my head right before Darwin dies. They deserve to be happy damn it.

[Return to Top]

The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting (Anime)

Tooru/Kei

I have a weakness for men with violence as their profession ending up taking care of a little girl. I'd like the main focus to be Kirishima/Sugihara but if you'd like to include Rei Hojo (who ABSOLUTELY has "childhood boyfriend" vibes) then by all means. I'd love it if he says something that's the catalyst for Kirishima and Sugihara to realize/acknowledge their feelings for each other.

[Return to Top]
 
Yuukoku no Moriarty | Moriarty the Patriot (Anime/Manga)

Albert/Mycroft

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.

William/Louis

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.

William/Sherlock

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.

William/Louis/Sherlock

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

Fred/Moran

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

Irene Adler | James Bonde/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.
