All-Purpose Exchange Letter
Jul. 3rd, 2023 09:19 amHello!
I am honored that you're considering writing me a fic/making me an art, and I'll try to make this as painless as possible. I always appreciate treats in any and all forms.
This is a letter to cover all exchanges, and since I’m now exceeding the size of the text box with fandom thoughts and DNWs, all of my fandom thoughts will be contained within this letter and under cuts. Just click on the fandom name to view more details.
General Likes
This is a general list of things that I normally enjoy. It is by no means all-inclusive and you’re welcome to deviate as long as it doesn’t involve my DNWs. Have fun with it!
Smut 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
A/B/O, 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)
Third-party POV, unless voyeurism is a purpose of the fic
Slurs or identity-based bullying
Self-harm or eating disorders
Slut-shaming, unless as humiliation in a consensual sexual situation
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)
Barbie (2023)
Ryan Gosling's Ken/Simu Liu's Ken
I'm struggling to put my enthusiasm for this ship into words. The Beach scene is just so damn homoerotic and also the scene where they hold hands during "I'm Just Ken" and I think they should just give into that.
- 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. It's just such an obvious place for him. 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???
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.
For what it's worth, I've watched the entire anime but I gave up on the manga because I just couldn't do it anymore. I stopped mid-way through volume 22 and I don't care about spoilers if you want to incorporate them. I just ask that the fic not hinge on later canon knowledge from the manga because I don't have it.
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.
- 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
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 canon.
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 romatically.
- 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.
- 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
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.
- 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
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.
- 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
- Arranged marriage AU to improve relationships between Dorian's people and the Ashari
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
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.
Doric/Wood Elf Prisoner and Doric/Simon/Wood Elf Prisoner
I maintain that it’s a missed opportunity for Doric not to be queer and when she rescued the girl I was so disappointed that they didn’t take that route. I hate that the prisoner doesn’t even have a name. Run wild with it. I’m good with Simon in or out of the picture, although I’d prefer any break-ups to happen before the events of the fic and not on-screen.
Xenk/Edgin
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.
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.
Aziraphale/Crowley
Season two has made me go entirely feral and I’ll take EVERYTHING. 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.
- 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).
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.
- 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
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.
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.
- 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?
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. When it comes to Parker, I embrace both asexual and autistic headcanons.
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.
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.
Ilya/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 Ilya 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.
Ilya/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.
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.
- 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 the 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.
Ideas:
- 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.
- 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.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Keith and Adam are both in unrequited love with Noah and they bond over the fact that he’s never going to notice them
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. Maybe Nora does a bit of work for Beatrice’s non-profit. Maybe, like Henry and Alex, the FaceTiming slowly turns into more. Maybe 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. Maybe Henry brings Beatrice to the lake house for the 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.
- 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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
- 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
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/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.
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.
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).
- 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 by 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?"
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.
- Opting in 100% to case-fic
- This is requested under the anime because I haven’t even started the manga, 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Roommates to lovers
I am honored that you're considering writing me a fic/making me an art, and I'll try to make this as painless as possible. I always appreciate treats in any and all forms.
This is a letter to cover all exchanges, and since I’m now exceeding the size of the text box with fandom thoughts and DNWs, all of my fandom thoughts will be contained within this letter and under cuts. Just click on the fandom name to view more details.

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
A/B/O, 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)
Third-party POV, unless voyeurism is a purpose of the fic
Slurs or identity-based bullying
Self-harm or eating disorders
Slut-shaming, unless as humiliation in a consensual sexual situation
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)
Barbie (2023)
Ryan Gosling's Ken/Simu Liu's Ken
I'm struggling to put my enthusiasm for this ship into words. The Beach scene is just so damn homoerotic and also the scene where they hold hands during "I'm Just Ken" and I think they should just give into that.
- 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. It's just such an obvious place for him. 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???
Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime/Manga)
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.
For what it's worth, I've watched the entire anime but I gave up on the manga because I just couldn't do it anymore. I stopped mid-way through volume 22 and I don't care about spoilers if you want to incorporate them. I just ask that the fic not hinge on later canon knowledge from the manga because I don't have it.
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.
- 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
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 canon.
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 romatically.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
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.
- 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
- Arranged marriage AU to improve relationships between Dorian's people and the Ashari
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
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.
D&D: Honor Among Thieves
Doric/Wood Elf Prisoner and Doric/Simon/Wood Elf Prisoner
I maintain that it’s a missed opportunity for Doric not to be queer and when she rescued the girl I was so disappointed that they didn’t take that route. I hate that the prisoner doesn’t even have a name. Run wild with it. I’m good with Simon in or out of the picture, although I’d prefer any break-ups to happen before the events of the fic and not on-screen.
Xenk/Edgin
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.
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.
Good Omens
Aziraphale/Crowley
Season two has made me go entirely feral and I’ll take EVERYTHING. 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.
- 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).
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.
- 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
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.
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.
- 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?
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. 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
Ilya/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 Ilya 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.
Ilya/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 (Including TV Shows)
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.
- 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 the 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.
Ideas:
- 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.
- 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.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. Maybe Nora does a bit of work for Beatrice’s non-profit. Maybe, like Henry and Alex, the FaceTiming slowly turns into more. Maybe 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. Maybe Henry brings Beatrice to the lake house for the 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.
- 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
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.
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
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.
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.
- 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
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/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.
The Untamed/MDZS
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.
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).
- 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 by 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?"
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.
- Opting in 100% to case-fic
- This is requested under the anime because I haven’t even started the manga, 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Roommates to lovers
