Ning Tiance/Shen Jianguo (They All Say I've Met A Ghost)

I just love how these two are very opposites attract, and how they’re so interested in each other’s world. I absolutely love how Shen Jianguo attributes his all his good qualities to what he’s studied and the texts/philosophies he’s read, but really you get the sense he’s just naturally a great person. I love how he shows that all the time when dealing with the ghost students and when dealing with the sect disciples trying to bully him.

-          I would love to see more of how Shen Jianguo fits into the Sect. What is living there like for him? How does the Sect work in the modern day, with making most of its money through being a natural beauty spot? I would love to see what SJG teaches his students and how his influence works on them.

-          I would also love Ning Tiance and Shen Jianguo having to solve ghostly problems or deal with a casefic type story. Is SJG even stronger now he knows about ghosts and can use his own skills and knowledge of how ghosts work? I think he probably is xD

-          So Ning Tiance can’t have sex with anyone until his yang power is strong enough to be split… so what do he and SJG get up to that isn’t technically sex but is definitely pushing the borderline? Maybe a 5 times they “didn’t have sex” (heavy petting? Mutual masturbation?) and the one time they finally did.

-          Related to above, maybe just the night they finally get to “split Ning Tiance’s yang soul,” whatever they involves. Maybe there’s a ceremony associated with it?

Crossover

Mo Ran (ErHa) & Luo Binghe (SVSSS)

I just think these two have a lot in common (in love with shizun, great cooks, dead mom trauma, “am I a monster” trauma, demonic lineage, both with an evil(ish) alter ego/previous incarnation) and I would love to see how they interact. I think Binghe could really use more friends – especially a friend who has also been through hell and who Binghe can trust is 100% uninterested in SQQ. I would love any story where they bond – especially if they start out like two snarly dogs wary of each other but something forces them to bond, and they genuinely make a connection.

-          They both have a 5 year period where their shizun is dead – maybe they meet and bond during this time? Mo Ran getting inbetween a clash between Binghe and Liu Qingge, or trying to mediate? (I would not mind if they had some angsty “I miss my dead shizun” sex so long as Ranwan and Bingqiu remain endgame).  

-          Exchanging “how to fuck your shizun” tips? xD

-          Something’s happened to SQQ & CWN and these two have to team up for a rescue? Genuinely making a connection and bonding over shared worry for shizun/husband? (I didn’t request CWN & SQQ separately but I would LOVE if you wrote some kind of switching POV where MR & LBH are mounting a rescue while SQQ & CWN are effecting an escape).

-          LBH thinking Mo-zongshi is such a goody two shoes… until he switches to being Taxian-jun and LBH Realises Some Things.

-          The Gate of Space and Time that creates portals between worlds is a forbidden technique in Mo Ran’s world, so how does he react to LBH’s dimension-travelling portal-creating sword?

Liu Qingge (SVSSS) & Mu Qing (TGCF)

Liu Qingge (SVSSS)/Mu Qing (TGCF)

I just love the idea of LQG worshipping MQ as his martial god, whether its purely platonic or becomes something sexy.

-          How does LQG end up becoming MQ’s worshipper? Is it something he was introduced to as a child, or something he came to as an adult? What does worshipping involve for him?

-          How does MQ take notice of him?

-          Can’t help but think MQ might think someone like LQG would be better off worshipping someone like QYZ, but LQG is definitely the type to doggedly stick to his guns

-          MQ giving LQG power to help him defeat (or try to defeat) LBH in those five years SQQ is dead?

-          MQ appointing LQG as a deputy general?

-          LQG lovingly topping his god? I’m here for all the worship and reverence. Maybe with a touch of forbidden fruit type feeling? Is it looked down on to have an affair with a believer/a deputy?

Ning Yingying (SVSSS)/Ye Wangxi (ErHa)

Ye Wangxi is basically alone without friends, family or Sect by the end of the novel. Though she seems to be taking it as well as can be, that still has to be super hard, and she must be carrying a lot of scars and trauma. Enter Ning Yingying, who’s no longer stuck in a harem and is a confident, smart, and probably out having adventures in the world. I feel like these two meeting could be good and fun for both of them!

-          Would love to see these two meeting and getting to know each other – or kicking ass together, or solving a mystery, something like that.

-          Slowly revealing their crazy backstories to each other!

-          Maybe an AU where Cang Qiong Mountain are a smaller sect in the world of 2HA and NYY has heard of YWX and is a bit starstruck to meet this legend! Then she realises how many scars her adventures have left on YWX.

-          Or if YWX somehow manages to end up in the SVSSS world (natural portal? Somehow gets transported there instead of the 2.0 2HA world after hopping back through that final Gate of Space and Time?) and meets NYY. How does YWX feel about being in another world? Maybe a little relieved, that she doesn’t have to face the scruntiny of her original world and she can make a fresh start, away from the lingering memories of Nangong Si and her stepfather?

2HA

Chu Wanning/Mo Ran (ErHa)

Ngl I relate to both of these two in how they try and fail to understand each other/other people and fail miserably and fuck things up. I love that they have to work so much to get their happy ending but fuck it they get it!!

-          Yes, I will take just 10k of pure PWP with these two, go wild xD

-          These two getting into random hijinks and shenanigans post-canon is my everything, whether they’re more serious like trapping rogue spirits and solving mysteries or more silly. Honestly post-canon comedy would be hilarious for them!

-          Would love anything about Ranwan integrating into their local community in Nanping post-canon. Just the local villagers and their two weird pet cultivators!

-          Love the implication that both Mo-zongshi and TXJ want to become the uncontested champion(s) of the pig-breeding world. I would 100% take 10k words of animal husbandry competition shenanigans.

-          MR suing that one merchant who’s selling magic dildos based on his dick for illegal use of his likeness.

-          Anything with MR dealing with the revelation of his demonic heritage? Or that heritage showing up in more obvious ways? (I am 100% a certified monsterfucker if you want to go there).

-          God/devil (or demon) AU. How would they relate if they were such polar opposites? 2HA alludes to this heaven vs demons stuff going on in the ancient days of the timeline, so could be fun to bring those vibes in? Ranwan loving each other from opposite sides of the war? Either one imprisoned by the other? (God!CWN imprisoned by demon!MR is super hot and mirrors Chu Fei/TXJ but demon!MR imprisoned by god!CWN who can’t stop coming back to talk to him where he’s imprisoned… demon!MR who teases god!CWN about the potential of taking advantage of his prisoner…yum)

-          I would absolutely love a modern cultivation, office comedy, organised crime, in space, urban fantasy, or sports AU for these two! Or any non-mundane AU (think like sentinel/guide, post-apocalyptic, magic, etc.) (Not interested in school/university, musician, or military/cop AUs for these two).

Luo Fenghua/Nangong Xu | Xu Shuanglin (ErHa)

The ultimate tragic shizun/disciple pair. Oh how many tears have been shed! Of course I (mostly) want AUs where they bang.

-          NGX realising he’s in love with shizun and setting about seducing him and LFH reluctantly being seduced against his better judgement… chef’s kiss. I don’t mind this going into dubcon territory (NGX taking advantage of a drunk LFH? NGX intentionally dosing himself or his shizun with some kind of sex pollen?) so long as its clear LFH wants to fuck NGX but he’s holding back bc of societal pressure/expectation.

-          LFH standing up for NGX when he’s accused of stealing his bro’s techniques. Why? What changes? Does LFH leave the sect with NGX?

-          Alternately, NGX kidnapping LFH when he leaves the sect. Do people come after them? Where do they go? Would be very into lots of anger and hurt feelings between them bc NGX feels betrayed while LFH thinks his disciple is dishonest. Would also be VERY into noncon here with NGX taking advantage of his prisoner, especially if it starts out angry and betrayed but gets more gentle and tender bc he’s still pathetically in love with shizun.

-          NGX does manage to resurrect LFH on the night of Nangong Si’s failed wedding. How the hell does that go? I can’t imagine LFH is thrilled about having been consigned to hell and torment just so NGX would have a chance of reviving him. NGX taking him back to Mount Jiao? Would be down for angsty noncon here.

-          Added to the above scenario, if that goes down and NGX still dies as in canon and LFH survives until post-canon, I can’t help but think his relationship with Ye Wangxi would be reeeally interesting. Reluctant father feels?

Older Mei Hanxue/Xue Meng (ErHa)

Older Mei Hanxue/Younger Mei Hanxue/Xue Meng (ErHa)

Younger Mei Hanxue/Xue Meng (ErHa)

-          Again, I will happily take 10k of porn here. Bratty sub!Xue Meng being lovingly railed into the mattress by one or both of the Mei bros until he can’t think straight? Yes please.

-          Would love something exploring the different ways Xue Meng interacts with each brother, teasing vs insulting. Xue Meng realising he’s into them despite the way they keep messing with him and being horrified and frustrated at himself is brilliant.

-          Any of these three together doing comedic post-canon adventures/hijinks in the vein of the blind dates extra would make me so happy.

-          Alternately, they actually have to face a serious post-canon Situation together and solve it and for some reason others like Chu Wanning and Jiang Xi can’t help. Xue Meng only realising he’s into either one of them or both when they get their serious game faces on is also a very fun flavour.

-          Xue Meng cross-dressing for real bc Mei Hanxue(s) deserve it.

-          Arranged Marriage AU – their parents are friends, so maybe they arrange it? Maybe in an AU where Mei Hanxues’ mother survives and befriends Wang Chuqing? Which brother does Xue Meng end up betrothed to, and how do they all feel about it? I love arranged marriage stories where they start out hating the idea but fall in love overtime (I am a sucker for a slow burn). I also love the “my spouse only acts nice bc we’re married, they could never really love me bc we were forced into marriage” angst.

-          I’m also super interested in what 0.5 Xue Meng/Mei Hanxue(s) were getting up to after TXJ was resurrected. I feel like they basically lived through an apocalypse, with that many people getting killed for the bridge to the demon door. How did they cope and keep each other going? By the end of it they’re ready to just be done and throw themselves into the flood, so this is your carte blanche to go as dark as you want (I opt into gore and horror and general fucked up shit for this one and waive my noncon and main character death DNWs, so long as there’s no noncon between Xue Meng and Mei Hanxue(s)). How did they build the Black Tortoise defence array thing – how did they even get the idea?

Wang Chuqing/Xue Zhengyong (ErHa)

-          I will take any exploration of how the whole Xue Zhengyong finding Wang Chuqing & Mengmeng and bringing them back to the Sect went down.

-          How Chuqing slowly falls in love with Zhengyong instead. I’m here for all the healing and second chance at love! I don’t expect everything at Sisheng was perfect for her/them, but I think it’s even more interesting if they find a way to harmony with each other despite that.

-          What would their kids have been like if Madam Wang had been able to have more children? What is Xue Meng like as an older brother? Does more kids result in a slightly less spoiled XM since he isn’t receiving all his parents’ attention all the time?

-          Any take on the moment where these two tried to save Mei Hanxue’s mother, whether you follow canon or do an AU where she survives. If the latter, I think mother Mei and Chuqing becoming close would be really interesting.

SVSSS

Liǔ Qīnggē/Luò Bīnghé/Shěn Yuán | Shěn Qīngqiū (SVSSS)

-          Any scenario in which Liu Qingge gets sex pollened by whatever crazy plot devices exist in the PIDW world and these two have to help him out by fucking him a lot (and it leads to feelings). It’s a classic but I love it!

-          Omega!Liu Qingge going into heat and Beta!Shen Qingqiu and Alpha!Luo Binghe helping him through it (optional but I would love if this leads to pregnancy where LQG angsts about keeping the child but does and it leads to a relationship between these three)

-          Somehow LBH and SQQ work out that LQG has Feelings, and make attempts to woo him (and all the hilarity that would involve)

-          I believe I saw someone else suggest Binghe seducing LQG “for SQQ” and just. Yes. All of that. Every variation xD Especially if it ends with this threesome.

-          BingLiuShen breeding kink! SQQ and LBH fucking LQ and kinking off getting him/her pregnant. LQ unexpectedly finding he/she is kinking off the idea as well. Don't care if it's trans!LQ, fem!LQ, or maybe omegaverse, so long as it's possible LQ could be expected to get pregnant by having unprotected sex and does so anyway. SQQ and LBH both insisting on fucking LQG an equal amount of times bc they want equal chance of being the baby daddy? Or some plot device that means the baby is all three of theirs? I’ll take all of it. Related, would love pregnancy sex between these three with pregnant!LQG.

-          Arranged marriage AU where the two most beautiful cultivators from Cang Qiong are given as husbands to Demon Emperor Luo Binghe? LBH the demon lord marrying two human spouses to end a war between humans and demons maybe? And now he has to woo his two new husbands?

-          Binghe getting both his husbands pregnant (or wives if you’re doing fem!Bingliushen). Even better if they only mean for one person to be pregnant and accidentally they both are. Even better if LQG insisted it should be SQQ getting pregnant bc he’s still insecure about his place in this relationship and then he’s the one who accidentally gets pregnant first.

Liǔ Qīnggē/Yáng Yīxuán (SVSSS)

Puppy disciple who just adores his gorgeous, amazing shizun, no matter his flaws xD Love the conflict for the disciple between what they’re supposed to be (respectful, platonic) and the feelings they can’t help for their teacher, and similar on the shizun’s end.

-          YYX working out he has feelings for LQG and having to deal with that. Struggling against his feelings before something makes him snap.

-          YYX intending to just platonically console a heart-broken LQG after Bingqiu go off together, but it turns into something romantic. LQG unsure about a second romance but he Can’t Help Faling In Love.

-          Honestly I would also love 10k of porn with LQG getting fucked stupid by his hopelessly devoted disciple (service top YYX?)

-          Something Makes Them Do It leads to an Accidental Pregnancy that LQG decides to keep for some reason, leading to slow burn growth of feelings over the nine months. And some more fucking. For the health of the baby. Or something 😉

Shěn Jiǔ | Original Shěn Qīngqiū/Yuè Qīngyuán (SVSSS)

I just desperately want these two get their happy ending somehow. Ideally I wouldn’t like Shen Jiu’s character and deeds shied away from, but I am very happy for you to present nuance in his character and interrogate what he’s really like, as we see and hear a lot about him from biased sources.

-          Where did Shen Jiu go when Shen Yuan took over the body of Shen Qingqiu? Would love Shen Jiu getting his own body somehow – maybe he gets a plant body? How does he feel about that? Or Shen Jiu getting shunted into some other body and having to work out who and where he is? Does something make him go back to Cang Qiong? Or does he meet YQY again somehow?

-          Related to the above – Shen Yuan taking Shen Jiu’s body sent his soul to the underworld, so now YQY has to go on a quest to get him back.

-          Obsessed with the idea of these two mutually baby-trapping each other. “Qi-ge is too honourable to force me out if I have his child” vs “I’ll have the perfect excuse to keep Xiao Jiu here and keep him comfortable and safe if he’s carrying my child” xD Don’t really care how Shen Jiu gets pregnant, whether its an Airplane-style plot device, trans!SJ, omegaverse, whatever. I just want these two engaging in silly baby-trapping shenanigans and then being surprised when the other one isn’t horrified. Is fine with it, in fact. Happy, even. And of course I would love them to eventually get over their issues… but its great if they fuck a few more times first. For the health of the baby or something xD

TGCF

Ban Yue/Pei Xiu (Tian Guan Ci Fu - MXTX)

Here for the cute childhood friends to lovers vibes - here for all the cute vibes actually - especially if they play with the fact that their history is literally anything but cute. How do you square the rush of first love and cute childhood friends angle with the whole murdering an entire city plan?

-          I would love anything about their relationship between Little Pei's ascension and the events of the novel while Ban Yue was stuck in the city with only Keemo and the others for company. Do they talk?

-          Anything set after Pei's banishment. Love the idea of these two teaming up and knocking some heads together!

-          Pei Su pining!! I will take any variation of this.

-          Also Pei Su's angst when he thinks Ban Yue is dead - the shock of that moment he sees her body hanging on that pole? Maybe flashbacks to that in the midst of a post-canon get-together?

-          What if a food tour across the land?? (So Pei Su doesn't die from anymore of Ban Yue's cooking, and maybe she can learn from someone who isn't as horrific at cooking as Xie Lian?)

Feng Xin/Mu Qing (Tian Guan Ci Fu - MXTX)

Definitely my "I love them so much I just want anything" pairing. I love characters who have a lot of walls up who just can't keep up the charade once they're in bed, which strikes me very in character for MQ. Any feelings realisation, I will love it. Also they're basically the gods of sexually-charged sparring so go ham on that!

- Angsty angry porn with feelings maybe? They're a prime target for pining while fucking (bc they’ll only admit they have feelings under extreme duress).

- Any kind of sex pollen or similar plot where they have to fuck or die but they're so angry about it (and secretly hating themselves for enjoying it?) Also if you'd like to add pregnancy: I would love MQ secretly being in love with FX, getting pregnant after the sex pollen sex, seeing this as his only chance to have something with FX, or with him trying to pretend that nothing happened but being forced to confront it bc he's pregnant (idk how pregnancy works when you're a god but I would prefer if any potential kids are going to be immortal too so there's no angst there)

- Something with some of Mu Qing's complicated feelings about Xie Lian being influenced by the fact he thinks Feng Xin is in love with him? (But he isn't, actually) (or he was, but he isn't any more)

- Fucking to settle an argument… only these two would do this xD It only makes sense to them but they are very serious about it (don’t worry about the fact that this becomes the way they settle all their arguments…)

- Again, I will be super happy with 10k of porn here xD

(I think MQ is supposed to be on the same 'fuck and instantly lose your powers' cultivation path as Xie Lian, but I'd prefer it if you handwaved that for this)

Mu Qing/Pei Ming (Tian Guan Ci Fu - MXTX)

-          If ever there was a pairing for 10k of porn… xD I just think it would be cute if MQ decided to change his cultivation path to something that doesn’t forbid sex and he christens that change by banging the sex god xD PM being perfectly happy to lead a gorgeous virgin through his first time 😉

-          Xie Lian’s paired off with Hua Cheng, Feng Xin is reconnecting with Jian Lan – is it any wonder Mu Qing is suddenly feeling a bit left out and lonely? Enter Pei Ming, who’s suddenly seeing MQ in a new light… Show me Pei Ming’s struggles to make MQ believe he’s legitimately into him! How does he act when he’s actually in love? (Also would die for XL and FX’s reactions to this pairing xD)

-          Totally optional but if you’re interested in FengQing: PM isn’t interested in romance (or is maybe is Aro) but is interested in getting his silly fellow martial gods together. Dating MQ to prompt FX into action? Fucking MQ to prompt FX into action? Fucking MQ when he knows FX is about to walk in so he can invite FX to join them? Convincing both of them into a threesome?

Lang Qianqiu/Qi Rong (Tian Guan Ci Fu - MXTX)

- I just love enemies-to-lovers! I would love them to somehow be forced into close enough proximity that they angrily realise the other is hot, oh no! They could find a way to reconcile, maybe, or at least understand each other a little better - I think Qi Rong has always felt like the unwanted one (not without reason), so having someone obsessed with him, even for a bad reason, might seem addictive to him. And Lang Qianqiu has been holding onto his pain over his family for so long, so any way to settle that even a little seems long overdue! Employ any plot device or trope to get them to be more honest with each other (truth spell?) and I will just eat it up.

- Dub/noncon (the line can be as blurry as you'd like) where they both pretend they're not into it? Or I could see Qi Rong mocking Lang Qianqiu for being into it/getting hard while riding his dick in a way that makes it obvious that he is 100% into it too.

- Qi Rong comes back somehow post-canon, and is incensed to find out that that IDIOT Lang Qianqiu is looking after HIS son! He has to take him back immediately! Meanwhile, Lang Qianqiu has become really fond of Guzi, and can't contemplate giving him back to an immoral, flesh-eating ghost like Qi Rong. Que an (often literal) custody battle! I would love if this goes on so long that they just get used to each other, and their bickering is more like a very violent old married couple as they both actually try to do their best to raise Guzi. Maybe they realise something's gone sideways when Guzi refers to them both as his dads?? Also would love to see older!cultivator!Guzi here if you'd like to include that.

My first thought here was a sedoratu. I think this is the only ship I’ve ever had that sedoratu would work for and I’d be really stoked to see it (if you don’t know what sedoratu is, see here: https://bemusedlybespectacled.tumblr.com/post/141332914501/wtf-is-a-sedoretu). It could be a Chiss marriage thing, or it could easily be a tradition from Lysatra or Karyn’s homeworld. But how would they end up there, how would they end up getting married, and how would they all feel about it? I’d be really interested in seeing how whoever in the pairing ends up being the outsider to that marriage system reacts to the whole thing. I don’t mind who you want to put in which positions in the sedoratu, or if you want to respect the rules in regards to certain pairings not sleeping together, or have them ignore that part.

Otherwise, I’m just really interested in the logistics of these four together. How does it happen? Is it squeezed in somewhere during the timeline of Treason, or do they all end up meeting again some time after that, possibly post-Original Trilogy? Or maybe in a canon divergent AU where circumstances cause them to meet?

2.  Pik/Eli Vanto/Waffle

Sex pollen? They have to do it to keep their cover? Basically, Eli in the middle of two big, hot dudes = perfect. Feel free to go PWP on this one. Or for something more plotty, maybe the three of them meet again, during or post Original Trilogy? Maybe Pik and Waffle have to try to work out who they are without the Empire to give meaning to their lives?

3.  Thrass | Mitth'ras'safis/Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Eli Vanto

Again, Eli between two dudes = perfect. This can be totally PWP if you’re game. For more plotty ideas, maybe brother/brother incest is normal in Chiss society, and Eli has to deal with the fact that Thrass is expected to be a part of their relationship/marriage/etc., both by society and/or by Thrawn? Or maybe he and Thrass grow close while they’re searching for Thrawn after he disappears, and then have to reconcile that with their relationships with Thrawn when they finally find him?

4.   Antoc Merrick/Luke Skywalker

I’m primarily thinking this would happen in a fix-it canon divergence AU where Merrick didn’t die during Rogue One, but I’d be open to them meeting some other way! I would love Luke having what he thinks is a hopeless crush on this handsome, honourable older guy who’s an amazing pilot, thinking he has no chance, only to discover that actually…maybe he does! Maybe Merrick is assigned to help teach him some piloting tips and tricks? Maybe Merrick is the one leading the charge against the Death Star? I would love them both pining, thinking there’s no way it could work out, only to discover it can. Would love Merrick worrying that Luke’s too young for him or how others will see them, but Luke doesn’t really care.

5.   Biggs Darklighter/Luke Skywalker

Maybe them being together on Tatooine and Luke being heartbroken that Biggs will be leaving for the Imperial Academy without him? A romantic reunion in the Rebellion? Or maybe they hadn’t been together on Tatooine, but their reunion on Yavin becomes an unexpected hook-up? Maybe Biggs survives and they see how they go from there? I’d love if Biggs survived and these two went on some kind of adventure together in the years between ANH and ESB.

6.   Brierly Ronan/Eli Vanto

I’d be really into hatefucking for this pairing, or maybe reluctantly getting to know each other. They’re probably two of the very few (or maybe the only two) humans in the Ascendancy, so maybe sticking together for familiarity turns into something more? Ronan’s there to try and covertly hunt Chiss “Jedi”, so I’d love if they become enemies For Real when Ronan tries to have one of the Chiss Force Sensitives killed/tries to kill one of them himself. Maybe they had a fling and then have to confront each other now that they’re really trying to kill one another?

7.   Carth Onasi/Female Revan

You can go Light side or Dark side Revan for this pairing. Either way I’d love something about how they slowly get to know each other over the game, and why Carth is drawn to her though he tries not to be. How does the reveal that she’s Revan affect them, both if she’s light or if she dark? If you go Light side, I’d love something about how they pick up the pieces after the events of the game, maybe with Revan going back to Coruscant to talk to the Order? Maybe Carth reconnecting with Dustil, and how Revan features in that? How do they begin to build a life together? What are their goals and wants now they’ve defeated Malak? Feel free to handwave Revan going off to the Sith Empire etc. If you go Dark side, how does Carth survive in Revan’s new empire? Is he her prisoner, and she’s trying to convince him onto her side? Maybe he tries to work with her so he can curb her more Sithly tendencies, or thinks he can bring her Empire down from within? Maybe he leads the resistance against her? I would love him being so in love with her that he overlooks some of her worse qualities, or him being determined that he can bring her back from the Dark Side.

8.   CC-5052 | Bly/Aayla Secura

I ship these two like burning, and anything you can give me would be amazing. Developing feelings, the feelings of guilt over those feelings, relief and also guilt when/if they finally act on those feelings. I’d love something about the growing bond between them and how they come to be so close, and maybe how hesitant they are about admitting to those feelings before they do. Smoking hot ‘we shouldn’t but we are and no one can find out’ smut would be amazing too.

9.   CT-7567 | Rex/Ahsoka Tano

These two are great together and I’d love anything that was more of their badassery and banter. Siege of Mandalore stuff is welcome, especially if you go AU and have them run off together to avoid the Empire! Or just some developing relationship stuff while they're working together during the war? A mission with just them together? I would love an AU where Rex decides to leave with Ahsoka when she leaves the Jedi, whether he has the Republic’s blessing somehow or not. And I would LOVE some kind of Darksiders/Mirrorverse/Evilverse AU where they’re both bad guys in some way. Ahsoka is a Sith and Rex works for her or is her right hand man? Maybe they’re space pirates? (NB: On my underage DNW, I would like any smut to be when Ahsoka is 16+)

10  Firmus Piett/Darth Vader

How do you end up getting feelings for the scariest person in the galaxy? What is it that makes Piett attracted to Vader? Is it all one-sided on Piett’s end, or maybe there’s something about him that makes Vader interested/drawn to him? I love Vader being reluctantly unwilling to hurt or discard certain people under his command that he gets attached to, no matter how he’d deny it if asked. Does it stay unsaid, or is there a moment where they admit to it? Maybe they get stranded together?

11  Lorana Jinzler/Thrass | Mitth'ras'safis

I’d be happy for you to go with canon or a fix-it AU here. Something angsty with them bonding or comforting each other before the end would be great if you go canon compliant. For a fix-it AU, something about them dealing with Outbound Flight’s crash and getting back to the Ascendancy/Republic would be great. I would love Lorana falling for Thrass and then being torn between staying in the Ascendancy or going back to the Republic, especially if she can’t bring herself to admit that’s the reason and finds any other excuse to stay. Also I would love Lorana and Outbound Flight being incorporated into the New EU canon somehow! If you go smut for this pairing, I kinda imagine Lorana is still a virgin, so hesitant and gentle first times fic would be amazing.

12 Null-11 | Ordo Skirata/Besany Wennen

I would love something about a post-canon Besany who’s had some arms training and can now kick ass and take names. Maybe she goes on an espionage mission similar to her stuff in canon? Or I’d love her being really good at fighting in any way, really. I just want her to kick some Imperial ass while Ordo is like “that’s my wife and she is perfect”.

13  Padmé Amidala/Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo

Maybe that moment from Alliances where Thrawn leaves in the courtyard happens, but Padmé goes with him for some reason? If you’re prepared to go angsty, maybe Anakin dies somehow (or it appears that he died) and Thrawn convinces Padmé she needs to go with him? Maybe they go back to the Ascendancy together, or Thrawn takes Padmé back to the Republic? Either way, an angsty hook-up would be great. Or maybe an AU where Padmé survives and they meet while she’s with the Rebellion and he’s with the Empire? Cat and mouse games between them?

14 Thrass | Mitth'ras'safis/Eli Vanto

Honestly I’d just love them to meet and Eli to have an “oh no he’s hot” moment. Maybe Eli never felt any attraction to Thrawn (despite the rumours) but he does to Thrass? Maybe they somehow have to get into an arranged marriage? Maybe they grow closer while they’re searching for Thrawn or fighting the Grysk? Since Eli seems to be under Ar’alani’s patronage essentially, it would be really interesting if she and Thrass were for some reason at odds, so Eli shouldn’t really get close to him, but he finds himself drawn to Thrass anyway…

15 Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Eli Vanto

CT-7567 | Rex/Ahsoka Tano: These two are great together and I’d love anything that was more of their badassery and banter. Siege of Mandalore feels/shenanigans welcome, especially if you go AU and have them run off together to avoid the Empire! Or just some developing relationship stuff while they're working together during the war? A mission with just them together? (NB: On my underage DNW, I would like any smut to be when Ahsoka is 16+)

Obi-Wan Kenobi & Anakin Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano: These three make a fantastic team and I love them together. Maybe something about what Ahsoka learns from having both of them around? The three of them bonding while on downtime? Them on a mission? Anything about them on Mortis and how fucking weird it was would be aces!

Obi-Wan Kenobi & Ahsoka Tano: I want to see more of these two interacting! Maybe Ahsoka asks him about what Anakin was like as a kid/Padawan? Maybe they have to bail Anakin out of something, or he’s off on a mission alone and these two have to take care of something together?

 Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker: Their relationship is possibly my favourite in Star Wars. How do they bond while Anakin is a Padawan? I’m fascinated by the way their relationship changes once Anakin is knighted, and how they deal with the ongoing war. Is it the stress of war and battle that finally makes Obi-Wan lax with the Jedi Code, and something happens? How does Obi-Wan deal with the tragedy at the end of Episode Three – and what about an AU where everything went worse, or everything went better? Post-ROTS AUs of any kind are my favourite, especially if Anakin goes dark but manages to keep hold of Obi-Wan, or if Anakin remains a Jedi but the Jedi fall anyway.

Depa Billaba & Mace Windu: I’ve read Shatterpoint and the Kanan comics, so keep whichever version you like! I’d just like to see these two interact – Depa is one of the few people Mace openly cares for, so how did they become so close? What was their bond as Master and Padawan like? Maybe a mission/some hijinks they got up to as master and padawan? If you go with the Shatterpoint story, how devastating is it for Mace to see what Depa’s done, and how do they rebuild their bond – or not – afterward?

Carth Onasi/Female Revan: I love characters who are bound by/feel beholden to their duty, and Carth is this 100%. Even after everything that’s happened to him, he still believes in things, still fights for ideals. I also like how, even though the reveal that the PC is Revan shocks him for a while, he doesn’t let prejudice hold him back, and judges her on her own actions (which may confirm his prejudice if you play darkside, but since I usually play lightside this is more of a ‘he overcomes his prejudice’ story for me xD) I ship Carth/Revan pretty hard, so shipfic will always be amazing. I’d love to see something about them falling for each other slowly, both of them wondering if it’s right, what with her being a Jedi – and then that reveal comes exploding onto the scene. How on earth do they both feel after that? How do they deal with it? I’d also love some post-game fic for him and Revan. How do they begin to make it work, what with her presumably becoming a Jedi again and helping to start rebuilding the Order, and him presumably starting more involved missions for the Republic?

Carth Onasi/Female Revan & Mission Vao: How does Mission see their relationship, and how does she relate to them both/each other individually? I love the cute-but-smart-kid and older mentor vibe from Revan & Mission. I find it interesting that Mission seems to be the least bothered about the reveal that the PC is Revan – what’s her reasoning? Would she really judge anyone based on who they’d become, or is it only because Revan has been a kind and supportive presence to her that she’s fine with it? (Obviously angling for a lightside!Revan here) She seems to shake it off, but does she really feel that at peace about it? Does she really harbour no doubts about working with someone like Revan, or if she does, why does she chose not to be suspicious? Perhaps her background working with criminals makes her more forgiving of someone’s mistakes? I’d love to get some deeper introspection/character study on why she’s prepared to accept that Revan is Revan so easily. I’d love to see Revan taking her under their wing a little, maybe giving her some pointers on the ways of the universe, or discussing what both of them have learnt during their travels. Carth is clearly the uncool dad who cares about keeping Mission safe, which irritates her just as much as it warms her. I feel like Carth would try to help her out, though I feel like he gets exasperated with her easily and Mission wouldn’t be able to resist winding him up.

The Hobbit - All Media Types

Bilbo Baggins/Thorin Oakenshield - The movie sold me on these two SO HARD. A moment of them becoming important to each other over the Quest would be great. I love the idea of Thorin being confused as to why he likes a Hobbit, of all creatures; but when he thinks harder about it, it's clear that Bilbo has so many admirable qualities. I love them both being a little hesitant about it all - a hobbit? A dwarf? (A king of dwarves at that) - but ultimately seeing what's great in one another. Obviously after the dragon sickness things change a lot, and I'd love to see something that doesn't downplay that - Thorin did threaten Bilbo's life - but something about their healing would be fantastic.

Sigrid & Tauriel - I imagine these two might get to know each other after the Battle of Five Armies, once everything has calmed down. They have a lot to deal with – losing her home and position for Tauriel, and losing her home and gaining a new one and becoming a princess for Sigrid. Do they bond over their massive change in circumstances? Does Dale take Tauriel in, or does she just appear to live in the surrounding area, and no one knows what she’s doing, exactly? I would absolutely love them bonding over something, and Tauriel perhaps teaching her some sort of skills, or perhaps a look at how their relationship grows and changes as the years pass? Perhaps Tauriel stays in Dale and they become close friends, or she comes and goes and they only see each other rarely? I would also totally be up for an AU where something happens to Sigrid’s older brother and she has to become the Queen, and Tauriel helps her with that.

The Hobbit (Jackson Movies)

Bilbo Baggins & Fíli & Kíli - I’d love to see how they become friends/important to each other! Fíli and Kíli clearly think it’s funny to tease Bilbo at the beginning of their journey – but when do they come to care about him? I’d love literally anything about their friendship. If you want to do something heartbreaking about Bilbo mourning them both that is also a-okay. Equally, I am totally up for some fix-it fic where they get to deal with everything that’s happened.

Bilbo Baggins & Thorin's Company - I love how Bilbo goes from ‘ugh dwarves’ to ‘they’re my friends and I would die for them’. Literally anything about him bonding with literally any member of the Company would be fantastic. Maybe he offers his cooking/sewing/whatever skills and everyone quickly takes him up on it? He offers support to someone in a moment of need? A member of the Company teaches him a skill he’ll need on the road? Or perhaps something about them visiting him later on when he’s back in the Shire?

The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien

Barahir (First Age)/Finrod Felagund | Findaráto – I dearly love all elf/man pairings, and all the angst and tropes that come with them. I love how Finrod finds the Men and seems to become their champion, so anything about how Barahir relates to him because of that would be perfect. How do they meet, get together, deal with the angst about Barahir’s mortality? And the whole Barahir saving Finrod thing? Maybe some victorious/thank-god-we’re-alive sex after that?

Caranthir | Morifinwë/Original Male Character(s) – I would really love something set in Beleriand, when Caranthir is a lord in his own right with his own land. How does that land run, what’s his relationship like with the dwarven people? It says in the Silmarillion that he looked down on them – but did he really? And who is this person he falls for, and what position do they hold, what’s their relationship to him – do they work for him, or perhaps they’re a representative of another lord/kingdom? Caranthir falling for a visiting Avari from far over the mountains would be amazing, especially if there were some culture clash elements to the story. And we know he’s famous for being prickly – how does the guy he falls for get around that to see his somewhat softer personality underneath?

Celebrimbor | Telperinquar & Finduilas Faelivrin - I'd love to know what their relationship is like. Do they like each other? Hate each other? Ignore each other? What does Finduilias think of his decision to stay behind in Nargothrond and reject his father? What leads him to that decision, and how hard is it to make? What's life like for him in Nargothrond afterward? What does he think of Turin, as a leader and as the man Finduilias loves? I’d love to see the two of them talk about Turin and possibly about Gwindor, about Turin’s rise to power and what that means for them/Nargothrond/Orodreth. I'd love to know where Celebrimbor fits in the politics of Nargothrond - whether he opposes or supports Turin's rise to power, and whether he can do anything about it if he opposes Turin. Does he get heavily involved in Nargothrond’s politics, or perhaps after the fiasco his father got into, he swears off it entirely? I imagine he ends up the leader/figurehead for the Noldor who used to follow his father/uncle who’ve remained in Nargothrond, so how does he deal with that role? Or perhaps a fix-it where they both escape Nargothrond together?

Fingon | Findekáno/Maedhros | Maitimo - I mentioned I love characters who struggle with legacy, and that's something I think Maedhros struggles with in spades. And I love Fingon's bravery, and how he's prepared to forgive even after what happened between the two halves of his family. I think the moment that made me love him was when he set out on his quest after Maedhros, so I'd love to see his thought process as he gets ready for that, what makes him decide to do it, how he manages to sneak out of the camp and set off, all with a shippy slant (and the rescue, if you’d like to include that!) I mostly headcanon that they don’t get together until after all that has happened, so a get-together fic would be absolutely great. They must visit each other a lot in Himring/Barad Eithel, so I’d love to see what any of those visits were like. Maybe something about Maedhros comforting Fingon after his father’s death and becoming the High King, or the two of them planning the Union? Or if you want to go super angsty, Maedhros mourning Fingon’s death and the tragedy of the Nírnaeth would be amazing.

Maglor | Makalaurë/Ulmo – Maglor goes wandering off down the shore at the end of the Silmarillion – does he stay there? Does Ulmo watch him, and eventually go talk to him? What do they talk about? I would love anything that emphasises Ulmo’s strangeness, his non-humanness, and how very weird talking to a god can be. How weird is it to be communicating with something that’s alien, other, and so very strange? And how does that translate if these two eventually have a physical relationship? If you’re up for writing some very xeno/weird porn, I am very up for reading it. (Also, Ulmo is the god of the sea, so – tentacles. I would read it).

Celebrimbor/Narvi - I’m really into this pairing as ‘two grumpy smiths finally find someone they can relate to, accidentally fall in love’. I’d love anything about them getting to know each other, crafting together, and slowly and unexpectedly falling in love. How do they deal with it? Do they admit to it? Anything about culture clashes/differences between dwarves and elves would be amazing, as would Celebrimbor exploring Moria and finding out more about it from Narvi. Also maybe making things together, or for each other? I would absolutely love something in which they made jewelry for each other. Leaving each other presents of their work, secret admirer-style?

Original Work

NB: Except where specified I'd prefer M/M pairings for these. Also for all except the Big Bad/Chosen One and Avatar/Investigator ships, I'm leaning towards them being set in a high fantasy type setting.

Avatar of an eldritch god/Paranormal investigator in over their head – I’d love a cocky paranormal investigator who thinks they’re totally fooling the avatar into believing that they’re an innocent bystander/citizen/potential recruit for the cult, while the avatar knows they’re anything but. I would love the avatar playing games with the paranormal investigator, drawing them in deeper without them even realizing, and then the moment of realization for the investigator when they know they’re in over their head but can’t see a way out. If you want to include noncon or dubcon in this I would definitely be down for it, or if you want to have the avatar be angling to turn the investigator into a human sacrifice or another avatar for the god, that would be amazing. If the investigator ends up coming into contact with some aspect of the god and going mad because of it, that would be cool – I definitely don’t mind unhappy endings for this pair. I’m thinking a sort of Lovecraftian and/or small town horror vibe for this request.

Baker/Captain of the Guard - Who is the baker, and how did they set up their shop – was it inherited, or is it their dream that they’ve finally achieved? Is the Captain a regular who drops into the baker’s shop every day on their way to work to pick up breakfast, and slowly falls for the baker’s sweet charms? If you want to lean into romcom tropes for this I would be so up for it. Or maybe the baker gets involved in something criminal (either as participant, victim or an innocent bystander) and the Captain comes to talk to them about it. Maybe the Captain and the Baker have to solve a crime together?

Big bad with the flu/hero hellbent on reform via TLC - ALL THE CUTENESS. I don't mind what kind of setting you want to make this - modern, sci-fi, fantasy - or if you want to make the big bad's illness a really serious case of flu or just a mancold, I'm just here for the relentlessly optimistic hero determinedly playing out all the 'caring for the sick' tropes and the big bad being won over despite himself. I'd love if at the beginning the big bad is like a grumpy cat refusing to be coddled, but he gets so miserable that he ends up being grateful for the hero's care, and then finds himself hopelessly in love despite himself.

Female magic user losing her grip on reality/female magical weapon who keeps her sane – Magical talking weapons is one of my favourite tropes, so anything you do with this will be golden. What’s the reason and how is the magic user losing her grip on reality, and how does the magical weapon keep pulling her back from the edge? What kind of magic does the magic user practise? What’s the story behind the magic weapon’s creation, how did it come to be in the magic user’s possession, and what type of weapon is it? Does the magic user combine her magic use with using the weapon in battle – or perhaps the magic user doesn’t even see much fighting, but keeps the weapon around just because she’s so good at helping her keep hold of her sanity?

Forty-Year-Old Virgin King/His Male Knight Who Wants to Gently Deflower Him - I think this tag is incredibly sweet and I super want fluffy hurt/comforty stuff for it. Why is the king a virgin - by accident or by choice? Maybe he's been waiting for The One, and he never came along? And the knight - older or younger? I'd love for him to be helplessly in love with the king and willing to do anything for him. Maybe the king is insecure about love/having never experienced sex, and somehow admits it to the knight, who is 100% here for helping him with this particular problem. Then they have passionate, gentle, loving sex?

Male Fire God/New King Who Marries Him In What He Assumed To Be A Symbolic Ceremony – I’d love to know why this ceremony comes about, and why the new king assumed it was only symbolic? Is it something done for every monarch, but the fire god has never actually claimed any of them as his spouse before? Or has the King somehow become the monarch of a country/people whose culture he doesn’t know well, and that’s why he assumed this was only symbolic? What happens to show him that this is very much not a symbolic ceremony? What does being a fire god’s husband entail? Wedding night consummation would be amazing, especially if the fire god has some very non-human traits and the king is very much out of his depth but kinda into it. (Also, he’s a fire god, so – temperature play? I would be into it)

The Magnus Archives (Podcast)

Peter Lukas & Evan Lukas – I don’t think we know how exactly Evan and Peter were related, so – are they closely related (e.g. Evan is Peter’s nephew) or are they distant relations from the presumably extensive Lukas family? When have they met? Evan seems like the black sheep of the family while Peter seems to have followed in their footsteps, so how do they relate to each other? Maybe Evan has cut all ties with the family and Peter is sent to try and bring him back into the fold? Or Evan is still sort of on speaking terms with people, and comes back to the family house for some reason (maybe he’s dragged back for the holidays) and winds up encountering Peter and having a conversation? Or having an experience with the Lonely?

Elias Bouchard/Jonathan Sims – Elias enticing Jon down the path to getting in deep with Beholding is my favourite part of the series and anything that plays on that will be perfect for me. Anything that includes Elias leading Jon into developing his powers and/or developing his bond with Beholding would be amazing. Or maybe Elias somehow convinces Jon to break him out of prison? (I realise this will be probably be jossed by the new season but prison break fics are always my jam) I would love love something that includes Elias convincing Jon to help him perform the Watcher’s Crown, and how that goes down, and what implications it has if they succeed (or if they don’t). Also totally up for PWP for this pair, especially if Elias manages to tempt Jon into it even when Jon knows it’s a bad idea. Given how Jon reacts whenever Elias compliments him, maybe he’d be into praise kink? Or if you wanted to have Elias be a little more than human, I would be totally into that.

Martin Blackwood/Peter Lukas – Anything and everything that includes Peter creeping on Martin and being cheerily creepy would be amazing. Why has he taken a special interest in Martin, and how does it develop? If you want to write some dubcon/noncon porn for this pairing I would be super into it – Peter claiming Martin for his power rather than Beholding, maybe? Or even something consensual with Martin being self-destructive/making bad decisions and/or being weirdly into Peter despite everything. Perhaps something where Martin has to get on Peter’s good side for some reason and gets in deeper than he planned?  

Mass Effect Trilogy

Female Shepard/Ashley Williams - I really want something about Ashley’s changing feelings through the series. How does she feel about the Commander who scooped her up and took her on this huge, galaxy-changing adventure? Assuming she survives Virmire, how does Shepard’s death and subsequent revival affect her? We know she can’t trust Shepard after she joins Cerberus – but that trust is restored in the third game. What does that look like from Ashley’s point of view? I’m really interested in how Ashley goes from forming a bond of trust in the first game, having it broken in the second, being wary but coming to trust Shepard again in the third. I just love these two together for what they’ve shared, what they’ve been through, and would love an exploration of that.

Female Shepard/Garrus Vakarian - Oh boy, these two. I have laughed. I have cried. I don’t think I will ever stop loving this ship. I love how it goes from Shepard being the more experienced soldier who has a lot to teach in the first game, to their more equal partnership in the second after Garrus has had some bad experiences of his own. I love Garrus’ loyalty mission, and how he and Shepard are a real duo and badass team together on that mission. (If you wanted to write an AU where Shepard and Garrus were a two-man team of some kind, for any reason, whether they were both Spectres or both criminals or something else, that would be amazing! (Especially if they’re both Spectres, and meet as Spectres. I think that AU could be so cool)). And then they get separated by Shepard getting incarcerated back on Earth. What kinds of conversations do they have after the events of the Arrival DLC, and leading up to Shepard deciding to turn herself in? Do they have any contact at all during the six months Shepard’s under house arrest? Do either of them tell their families about their relationship? And what are they both feeling when they hook up again back on Menae? I’d also love to see them supporting each other through the horrors of ME3, as things escalate almost beyond Shepard’s ability to cope, and how their relationship deepens. One of my favourite tropes is when characters go from being mavericks/rebels/hotshots/relatively inexperienced and slowly develop into very experienced people who are trusted and unexpectedly given a lot of responsibility by the world at large/the people in charge, and Garrus and Shepard fit that to a T (Garrus even comments on it at one point in ME3). I would love something that explores that progression, from the mavericks in ME1 who hijacked their ship to chase aliens no one believed in, to the leaders of the charge against those aliens who’re trusted by their respective political/military leaders in the third. Alternatively, just something fun with them taking a break, maybe a dinner date, maybe some time in the Armax Arena?

Female Shepard/Garrus Vakarian/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya - I've heavily shipped Shakarian pretty much since I started their playthrough, and after Tali's loyalty mission I was shipping her and Shep really hard as well, so threesome seems like the next logical step! (Basically picture me screaming for eternity when Tali muttered that thing about a Garrus/Shep/her threesome xD) I'd love some in-depth character study of how Garrus and Tali each deal with their changing feelings for Shepard. I see both their relationships with Shepard to be more teacher/student and big sister/little sister in the first game, so how do they deal with, apart from the fact that she died and came back, the fact that they now see her in a completely different light? And you could also turn it around for Shepard; these two have matured and grown so much in the last two years - how strange is it for her to see them like this, when for her it seems as if no time has passed? How does she feel running into Tali on Freedom's Progress, right off the bat? How does she feel learning what Garrus has been up to - and in those awful moments when she thinks he's going to die? And anything from ME3 - that moment when Shep and Garrus reunite on Menae, when Tali walks into the war room - how do they fit back together again after their time apart?

Female Shepard/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya   - WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL. Like literally I will never stop being gutted that this isn't a romance option for FemShep. The delivery of Tali's dialogue just after you get her cleared of treason was one of the moments that sealed it for me; her "I got better, I got you", is so sincere and sweet, while "It's fun watching you shout" definitely sounds suggestive. Tali is such a good soul and she goes through so much by Shepard's side, they go through so much together, they have such a special bond and I can't stop raving about it. All their conversations together on Rannoch make me want to cry. When Tali says "The living room window will be right here" and Shepard replies "Something you wanna tell me?" I just cannot help but think that yes, Tali wants to tell you she wants to build a house with you and settle down, but she's too shy to say it/not gonna talk about that right now because it's too distracting from the mission. What I really love about Tali is that she repeatedly comes along and supports Shepard when it would be completely understandable for her not to. In the first game there's no guarantee she'll finish her pilgrimage on Shepard's mission, but she comes anyway. In 2 Cerberus has proved itself hostile to her people, but she still comes. In 3 she's just got her entire freakin' planet back, but she still comes. For this pairing, oh man, write me anything. Write me Tali having a schoolgirl-like crush on Shep in 1, write her feelings during the two year gap when Shep is "dead" and how she deals with seeing Shep alive again, write how her loyalty mission maybe sparks deeper feelings, write about Tali going back to her people and fighting against the geth war and trying to channel Shep when acting as an admiral, write her and Shep on Rannoch during 3 or after the Reaper War if you wanna handwave the ending, write them hanging out on the Citadel or the Normandy or literally freakin' anywhere.

 Thank you so much for reading my letter, and I hope you have a great exchange!
