One Piece (Live Action TV 2023)   

Fandom specific DNWs:

• Luffy in a romantic relationship (I see him as ace aro)
• Sanji as a creep (like he is sometimes potrayed in the manga)
• Zoro/Mihawk
• Tashigi/Smoker
• Sanji/Nami, Sanji/Nico
• Nami and Nico in romantic relationships with Zoro, Sanji, Usopp or Zoro
• Chopper in a romantic relationship

Fandom specific likes:

This version of the Strawhats offers something different to Manga and Anime (which I also have fond memories of), and I love that it can be silly and manga-accurate but also allows us to see the raw emotions that can be somewhat muted in the source material (not to say manga isn't able to move you, I myself cried when [redacted] got destroyed and the Strawhats watched it burn), but there is something about watching actors perform that's inherently different to comics.
That said, here's some things I like about this version of Strawhats:
SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2!!!

• Luffy being even more unhinged - that scene in Loguetown, as Luffy is about to get beheaded and starts to laugh histerically? So much raw emotion in that scene, I got chills just watching him.
• The bond between the strawhats is so fantastic, it's clear they're still trying to get to know each other and work out what makes the other tick; I love that first scene in the first season as everyone sans Usopp tries to convince Luffy to stop at Loguetown.
• Sanji being more respectful towards women - that is something I like less about the source material, and I appreciate how the show towned his character down.
• Zoro being a silly guy but also a badass - I adore that directionless mossball.
• Nami! Oh, she's perfect! I love how she is clearly not as much a fighter as the others are, but knows how to use her other strenghts to her advantage. I also like how quickly she bonds with Vivi.
• Usopp! I adore him here! He's an average man (when it comes to Strawhats lol), doesn't have Zoro's sword skills, or Luffy's courage, but that doesn't stop him from doing great things. He's very relatable and is the perfect balance to the other Strawhats madness.
• (Also the little glimpse we got of Robin! I wonder which direction they'll take her!)
• Vivi, obviously, a great character - her royal aura is apparent from the first frame she's in. I love that she's also a skilled fighter and a spy!
• I like the balance between the goofyness and the more serious moments.

Prompts:

• I would love to see what the crew is up to between the islands, what they do, do they visit other islands between the main ones?
• Or maybe you'd want to do an outsider pov on any of the characters? How they're seen through the others' eyes, are they scary or laughed at?
• Some bonding over insecurities/shared experiences/loved ones 
• Can't go wrong with whump and angst. Hiding injury? Love that, Zoro is definitely guilty of that. Hurt anyone, everyone, make them cry, beg, I will eat it up
• Hurt/comfort in any form
• More adventures! 
• Some crazy meet up - do they meet characters who haven't been introduced in the show, or your ocs?
• An au! I'd love to see maybe some steampunk, cyberpunk versions of these characters.
• Different meeting? Someone joins first, and how it changes everyone's dynamic?

Feel free to use any of those or not use them at all!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discworld - Terry Pratchett  

Fandom specific DNWs:

• Vetinari as inherently evil
• Young Vetinari (or Vetinari from the past)/Vimes from the present - am okay with young Vetinari/young Vimes and present day Vetinari/present day Vimes
• Vimes being with Sybil while pursuing Vetinari - have them either broken up, or never married in the first place

Fandom specific likes:

This is my favourite series I read as a kid, and I have fond memories of the Nightwatch books. I adore both Vimes (and appreciate his journey from a depressed and broke bloke to an esteemed captain).
I love the humour and the cleverness of the books, and how Vetinari seems to have a soft spot for his Captain.
The love they both hold for the city is so ingrained in their characters, love how Ankh is clearly number 1 priority (and they will do anything to keep it healthy).
I adore the world, the characters, their dynamic...

Prompts:

I will leave it up to you what you come up with. I've not read a lot with this pairing, so don't be afraid of doing something cliché haha

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Original Work 

• Casually Affectionate Villain/Touch-Starved Hero Hanging Around Them to Get Touched (OW)

Fandom specific DNWs:

• F/M ships for the main couple

Fandom specific likes:

So this one scratches that "touch-starved to the point of putting oneself in danger" itch. No matter if it's a futuristic, modern, or fantasy setting, I'll eat it up.
Give them crazy powers, or mecha suits, or make them powerless, your call.

I love desperate characters and would love to see anything, basically. Is the villain aware of what they're doing, or is it an unconcious thing? Is the hero aware they're touch starved?
Was the villain raised in a healthy environment and is used to touch, or did they have to teach themselves how to deal with touch? Are they using the touch to get closer to the hero and manipulate them, are they an evil mastermind? Or are they misunderstood?
Why is the hero touch-starved? Are they alone with no family or friends, or maybe their power makes it impossible to touch anyone but the villain?
I would love to see what you cook for this ship.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Princess/Knight (OW F/F)
• Stoic Touch-Starved Knight/Her Smitten Lady (OW)

Fandom specific DNWs:

• Settings close to modern world (so 21st Century)

Fandom specific likes:

So I love the opportunity for pining here, the "I must stay close to her to protect her but she will never be truly mine".

I have grouped the two prompts together because I think they are quite similar.

Is it a mutual infatuation, or did it start one-sided? Who fell first? Does the princess make up scenarios that allow her to stay close to the knigt? Is the knight her personal guard, or even someone from a different kingdom? Does she save the princess, or does she have orders to kill her?
Is the princcess aloof and cold, manipulative, or naive? Is the knight a captain, or did she just start working as a knight?
Whatever you decide, I'll be curious to read it!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Noblewoman/Rival Noblewoman (OW)
• soothsayer/scheming noblewoman (OW)

Fandom specific DNWs:

• Settings close to modern world (so 21st Century)

Fandom specific likes:

I have grouped the two prompts together because I think they are quite similar.
So I'd love to see what happens at the court, how you decide to built it - is it a more futuristic court, is it a realistic one, does it have aliens, magical powers, or is it a historic piece?
Do the two characters have history together? I imagine there's some sort of rivalry going on, whether it's the noblewomen or the soothsayer/noblewoman ship. I'm curious what you come up with!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Character: Asexual Priestess of a God of Lust (OW)
• Character: Aromantic Asexual Priestess of a God of Love (OW)
• Asexual Priestess of a God of Lust & The God She Worships (OW)

Fandom specific DNWs:

• Settings close to modern world (so 21st Century) 

Fandom specific likes:

I have grouped the three prompts together because they are very similar.

This one is interesting! How did the priestess end up worshiping a god like that? Why? Did she worship it before she figured herself out, or is she just now realising she's aro/aroace? (here I'm fine with self discovery so you can disregard that dnw)
I'm curious if the priestess is in a monastery or wandering around a country, is she in contact with the deity or is it a sort of one sided conversation? Is she a novice or is she an experienced priestess?
I'd be curious to read whether In your world gods are real or imaginary, and how it affects people. I imagine there's a lot of different gods in the pantheon.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Characters: Earnest & technologically advanced aliens sent to help humans not destroy Earth (OW)

Fandom specific DNWs:

•  None

Fandom specific likes:

So, how will the people of earth react? How did the aliens find earth? Did they always know about our planet, or did they just find it? I'm curious whether you decide to set the story somewhere in history, or in the future, or maybe it's an alternative version of earth?
How to the aliens look like? Do they have devices to communicate with us, or do they communicate telepathically? Do they scare us? Do we scare them?


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Bard & sapient magical hoop snake & giant magical bird & engineer & telepath all on a quest to save the world (OW)

Fandom specific DNWs:

• Settings close to modern world (so 21st Century)

Fandom specific likes:

This is such a ridiculous prompt, go nuts!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Olympic Figure Skater/Rival Figure Skater

Fandom specific DNWs:

• F/M pairing for the main pairing

Fandom specific likes:

I'm in here for the tension, the drama, the feels! 
How long have they completed against each other? How did the rivalry start? Is it one sided, or maybe blown up by the media? 
Are they friendly, or do they really hate each other? Is the relationship new, developed, or an old flame? So many possibilities.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Fairy Queen/Mortal Who Stumbled Into Her Realm (OW)

Fandom specific DNWs:

• Settings close to modern world (so 21st Century) (if the mortal is from out world and is in the queen's realm as the story goes on its okay)
• F/M ship for the main couple

Fandom specific likes:

Again, such an interesting prompt! No notes haha 



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Fairy Mother & Human Mother of the Same Changeling (OW)

Fandom specific DNWs:

• Settings close to modern world (so 21st Century)

Fandom specific likes:

This would be an interesting dynamic - how did they meet, is the fairy hostile? Why did they meet? Does the fairy want her child back, or was she caught in the act of switching the babies? Is the human scared?


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Character: Student at all-girl’s boarding school for psychics who is maybe starting a cult (OW)

Fandom specific DNWs:

• None

Fandom specific likes:

No notes, will be interesting to read whatever the setting is!



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Brother & Sister working together to figure out what happened to their mysterious father (OW)

Fandom specific DNWs:

• Settings close to modern world (so 21st Century)

Fandom specific likes:

I'm a sucker for siblings and sibling dynamics.
How did whatever happened to their father affect them and their bond? Is one of them reluctant to find the father, or are they both eager? Did he die, or maybe he just disappeared? Was it quiet, or was it loud, did he go out with a bang?


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Adventurer & Mimic Who Would Rather Join In Her Adventures Than Try To Eat Her (OW)

Fandom specific DNWs:

• Settings close to modern world (so 21st Century)

Fandom specific likes:

No notes haha have fun playing with this prompt!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Powerful Mage Forced to Teach at Magical School/Long-time Rival Who Teaches There (OW)
• Court Wizard Who Dabbles In Dark Magic/Royal Soldier Who Believes Wizard Wants To Take Over The Kingdom (OW)

Fandom specific DNWs:

• Settings close to modern world (so 21st Century)
• M/F ship for the main couple

Fandom specific likes:

So these would work well in any setting - I'm curious if your story will be set in a fantasy world, a medieval one, somewhere in a different timeline, or maybe on another planet? There's so much tension possible between the characters, I can't wait to see what you create!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Character: Original Spaceship Pilot Court

Fandom specific DNWs:

• Settings close to modern world (so 21st Century), setting in the nearish future OK

Fandom specific likes:

I love sci-fi! And unconventional sci-fi! And space in general! Is your spaceship organic? Metal? Magic? Is the character a human, an alien? An animal? How did they end up as a pilot? Is space being explored for a long time, or is this a new development? Why does this nation go to space? Do they want to conquer the space, or maybe they want to defend themselves against someone (something)?


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Acclaimed Poet & The Ice Queen Who She Derives Inspiration From (OW)  
  Fandom specific DNWs:
• Settings close to modern world (so 21st Century)

Fandom specific likes:

This has a lot of potential! Wonder which direction you'll go! 


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Manga  

Fandom specific DNWs:

• FMA 2003 AUs
  Roy/Ed or Roy/Al
  Ed with a love interest (I like Winry, but don't like them very much as a couple)

Fandom specific likes:

I like how sassy Ed is, how he starts the series as a weary teen, and eventually transforms into a young adult with issues TM
Love the sibling dynamic between Ed and Al, and how complicated their relationship is. I love the scheming, the setting, the characters.
FMAB is one of my favourite shows, I've seen it at least 3 times. Love the alchemy system, and how everything has its price.

Prompts:

• Hurt/comfort obviously, whump and angst - I mean FMA is full of heartbreak, why not add some more? Maybe it's physical and someone gets hurt on a mission, or maybe you want to explore the past? Maybe you want to go deeper into Roy's, or Riza's psyche during the war? Maybe you want to do a canon divergence and do some body horror with Trisha? (Although there already was some of it on the manga so...)
• How Ed trained to become the state alchemist, how is he treated? By other soldiers and the general public. Why doesn't he wear the uniform - maybe there's a deeper meaning to that? 
• Al deserves a story of his own, maybe you want to write about what he was up to after getting his body back? Or his pov of being a suit of armour?
• Another adventure, maybe a mystery, or maybe something silly to lighten the mood? 
• Some sort of au!
• Ed (and or Al) getting to be a kid at least one time 
• What if Ed didn't lose Alchemy? Would he still be in the army? 
• Regency AU?

These are just ideas, feel free to disregard them!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo  

Fandom specific DNWs:

• Jordie being resurrected,
• Details about Inej's time at the Menagerie,
• ignoring Kaz's disability
• Jesper-bashing;
• Kaz-bashing;
• Kaz being without fault and having all his ideas pan out without a hitch;
• Inej not feeling emotions;

Fandom specific likes:

Kaz is my favourite character. I love him as a mastermind that's not afraid of getting his hands dirty, but who has his shortcomings as well. I love that others often underestimate him, and that he's such a theatre kid at heart. He's so dramatic. Love his backstory, and how tragic his life was.
I love Inej and her no-nonsense attitude, how she yearns for company but cannot handle touch, how she fell in love with the only other person who hates touch more than she does. Love how strong she is, but still feels empathy towards people, how conflicted she is about killing.
Love how Kaz would sacrifice everyone and everything for Inej.
I really like the Crows and how they interact with Kaz/Inej - some of them fear them, some pity them. The group has such a fun dynamic, a perfect blend of unhinged and competent.

If you want to include other characters not listed in my signup, go ahead!

Prompts:

* Another heist, or preparation for a heist
* Some time before the book, how things were - how did everyone behave, did they like Kaz, fear him?
* How Kaz fell in love, what if the heist didn't happen, would he do something with his feelings towards Inej? Would she grow to resent him because of what he does?
* In the future, after the book concludes, does Inej go off with her parents? Do they like Kaz? Do they think he's not good for their daughter?
* Everyone realising how far Kaz is willing to go
* Five times someone notices something is wrong with Kaz (injury, bad day?) but lets him go alone, and one time someone helps him
Love a strong character who has to ask for help or gets help despite not explicitly asking for it
* Regency AU - are they still criminals but in high society? Are they normal people? Do they still have superpowers? How does this change everyone?
* Band AU - is Kaz the lead singer? Or maybe he's a masked vocalist everyone has their eyes on? My personal headcanon is that thanks to his nimble fingers, Kaz is very good at piano. Maybe it's band AU but in the canon universe? Where instead of becoming a criminal mastermind, Pekka sees Kaz's talent and uses him to lure pidgeons to his casino? Or doubles his workload and in addition to being his left hand man, Kaz also has to be an entertainer? Does he hate all those eyes on him, trying to touch him? Does he grow tired of pretending to have fun on stage just so Pekka doesn't beat him after the show (avoiding his hands and face, of course).
* Vigilante AU - is Kaz the 'Nick Fury' of this operation, or is he in the field? Is it set in the original universe, or in ours? Or maybe in space?
* Grisha AU where Kaz has powers. Does he hide them? Does he flaunt them? What are they? How tragic it would be, if he was a healer, but only realised it after Jodie died?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Murderbot (TV)  

Fandom specific DNWs:

• While I appreciate the books, please avoid 1st person POV
• Dr. Bharadwaj or Dr. Ratthi being seen as 'stupid'
• Dr. Mensah/Dr. Gurathin (mention of his fascination/one-sided love OK)
• Elaborate details about Dr. Gurathin's addiction
• Elaborate details about Dr. Mensah's anxiety attacts (mentioning she has anxiety/attacks OK, but don't describe the attack proper please)
• First person POV
• Focus on the Ratthi/Arada/Pin-Lee situationship
• Making SecUnit into a 'pure baby', oblivious to the world around it. It wants to watch its shows, but isn't stupid - it's a SecUnit, it was made to kill and has instincts to prove it
• Murderbot in a romantic/sexual relationship/situationship, so please no Dr. Gurathin/Murderbot, or Dr. Mensah/Murderbot
• Using pronouns other than 'it/its' for SecUnit unless done by characters who don't know it, or who are being rude on purpose, or if someone slips up but corrects themselves eventually

Fandom specific likes:

I am familiar with the book (finished Network Effect), so I don't mind if you include things up to that point. I do think the TV series is a different story to the books, so if you prefer to stick to the series only - fine by me.
I like the vibes of the show - you see how much more menacing MB can be if we don't hear its constant monologue, don't see it's panicking, but only see how PresAux sees it - as a deadly construct that could kill them at any point.

• AroAce MB
• Exploration of bonds and complicated relationships
• "Mother Hen" (gender neutral) MB
• Love the canon
• Murderbot being a BAMF
• Murderbot character study 
• Fluffy coda between the episodes
• Team as family
• Gurathin and Murderbot - their dynamic is really interesting, what with how similar they are
• Murderbot and Mensah - love how Mensah is a mentor to MB, how it respects her and tries to help her
• Mensah - she's strong, tries to be a good leader but has a lot of anxiety about that (MB sees that)
• Gurathin is an interesting character! I would love to see him explored more

Prompts:

• Murderbot just chilling
• Murderbot fighting
• Gurathin before, during or after canon - how does he see PresAux? Is he uncomfortable, or maybe he loves them in his own way but doesn't know how to show it?
•  Murderbot after the canon, what happens to it?
• A stolen moment during the mission
• Mensah character study - how she became a leader, how she deals with all the pressure
• PresAux chilling
• Someone gets hurt and they blame MB? Before MB is revealed to be sentient
• Canon divergence where MB stayed - what would happen?
• The weird dynamic between MB and Gurathin explored - why do they fight like that? Is it because they're so similar?

Fandom specific likes:

Superman/Batman - I love the contrast between Battison's quiet brooding and 2025 Clark's well adjusted persona. Basically grumpy/sunshine haha. I like how closed off Bruce is, how much he cares but cannot express it, and how Clark lets other people help him and doesn't try to do things by himself. I love how Bruce is more of a detective and avoids the spotlight, despite being a celebrity. 
Really like that this Bruce doesn't seem to (yet) have a full Brucie persona, and his public image is less 'silly trust fund kid' and more 'tragic emo shut-in'.
I like how Clark is smart as well, and how he's emotionally available (for the most part).
I like Dick as a character, be it as Robin or Nightwing. 

FMA+HP - 
I like how sassy Ed is, how he starts the series as a weary teen, I think it's a perfect match for middle of the series Harry, who is already tired with all the fighting. 

DP + AR
I love how both Alex and Danny are sassy child soldiers/spies, both hurt at such a young age. Such tragic characters! I like how both of them cope with difficult emotions via humour.
It'd be interesting to see why they meet, and what they do together - are they enemies, rivals?

DP + DCU
I like the idea of a dead teenage ghost king haunting Bruce and Clark. Or Superman and Batman researching sth and finding Danny. The banter would be out of this world.
I like how Danny is a very tragic character - his death could have been avoided. 

If you want to include other characters not listed in my signup, go ahead!

Prompts:

Superman/Batman - 
* What if Clark is sent to interview Bruce, and he thinks B is just another rich prick, but finds out he's just anxiety ridden shut-in?
* Or maybe Bruce arrives at Metropolis as a civilian and meets Superman, thinking he might be a threat, only to realise he's a ray of sunshine. 
* What if Clark arrives at Gotham because of work, or superhero stuff, and bumps into Batman? Did this Bruce set the 'no metas in Gotham' rule? Or maybe this is his first time meeting another superhero? How do they work together?
* Identity porn - they meet each other in different personas, maybe there are some clues the other is also a superhero (Bruce has makeup around his eyes, Clark forgets about his super strength, someone says something they shouldn't know, or betray themselves with mannerisms), I would like to see some detective work from B and Clark
* I'll leave it up to you if you want to include Dick, and if you want him to be younger (HERE I DONT MIND HIM BEING A KID, just don't make him a toddler), or if you want to have him as a Nightwing. It's up to you if Dick traveled to this universe by accident, or if he's already living here and just hasn't met Bruce. If he traveled from another Universe - maybe he teaches Bruce the ropes, or maybe he helps Bruce realise something about himself.
* I like the idea of Bruce being put on the spot, and he comes up with an elaborate backstory with Clark as his sidepiece, because he can't admit they know each other from their night job
* Maybe someone assumes Bruce is Superman for some reason, and Clark arrives at Gotham to set things straight?
* Maybe it's mission fic or case fic and Bruce's investigation leads him to Clark, or the other way round - what begins as journalistic investigation leads the public persona of Clark Kent somewhere dangerous and he gets rescued by Batman OR maybe Clark is in peril and Bruce Wayne steps in as himself?
* Maybe a darker AU where Bruce never became batman but Clark is Superman? 
* Maybe Lex approached Bruce for his tech, Clark catches wind of that and tries to out whether this Bruce Wayne person is trustworthy, or is he dealing with another Lex Luthor

FMA+HP -
I'll leave it up to you if you want Ed to travel to HP world, or if Harry appears in Amestris. I'll leave it up to you which characters from both franchises you want to include, if any.
I'll leave it to you where in the timeline everything happens.

* Maybe Ed travels to Hogwarts as a teacher, or undercover spy? Or maybe he lands in the middle of London and Ministry takes interest in him? Is he stuck? Can he go back freely? Is there anyone with him?
* Maybe Harry's spell backfired, or there's a door to Amestris somewhere at Hogwarts?
* Maybe Amestris is somewhere in our world, hidden from sight, or maybe London is Central City in the future?
* How does magic and alchemy mix together, if at all? Does Harry have his magic in Amestris, does Ed have alchemy in Hogwarts?
(the setting doesn't have to be Hogwarts, just using it as an example)
I like the idea of Edward being a battle weary military dog meeting a starry eyed Harry, or maybe both of them are post-war and bond over their battle scars? 
* Would love to see how different the two worlds are.

DP + AR
* Alex is undercover in GIW and stumbles upon kidnapped Danny, much potential for hurt/comfort
* Danny is visiting England and Alex notices his new friend is very odd. At first he assumes him to be another spy, but then why wouldn't a spy breathe?
* Alex and Danny are kidnapped together
* Alex and Danny kick ass together
* Alex is sent to train with GIW and kidnapping Danny is his first assignment
* MI6 thinks Danny is USA's newest superweapon and Alex is sent to investigate
* Alex causes a wrinkle in the continuum and Danny investigates

DP + DCU
* Bruce and Clark are on a mission, visit a lab and find Danny - trapped? experimented on? 
* Danny somehow ends up in Gotham in his civilian form, meets Bruce and Clark as their public personas as well, then they are reintroduced as superheroes
* Danny in Gotham (maybe he's with Tucker and Sam, or Jess, or maybe he came alone?)
* My personal headcanon is that Danny's body is still somewhere, buried. Maybe Bruce digs it up by accident? 
* Maybe Danny is considered a threat by JL, and Superman and Batman are sent to investigate?

MB
* The setting is so different from MB's, so go nuts!

Call of Duty (Video Games)  

Fandom specific DNWs:

• Price in a romantic relationship
  Graves or Shepherd redemption arc;
  Valeria/Alejandro and Valeria/Rudy;
  Any ships with Graves;
  If you want to include miscommunication, please make it a minor story beat;
  Please no Kate/Price;
  Kindergarten AU, or an AU where Soap or Ghost have to adopt kids;
• Please keep Soap alive (temp death is ok)

Fandom specific likes:

Everyone here is doomed by the narrative, I love it. 
I'll leave it up to you whether you want to write about the original or the remake (I'm more familiar with MW, but don't mind the original COD lore)
I like the trope team as family, and how close everyone seems. Love that in MW2 Ghost kept Soap alive by talking to him, watched over him even though he could have left. I love the instant connection they seem to have, and how well they work together. I love how Ghost's unbothered persona melts when he's around Soap, showing off his easily irritated side, and how he grew to like Soap over the course of the story.
I like to see Soap as a very competent, if a bit hotheaded person.
Love Price being the 'tired father' of the family, and how he watches over everyone.
Love Gaz and Soap together as buddies, they bouce very well off of each other.

If you want to include other characters not listed in my signup, go ahead!

Prompts:

* Chain of command type of situation where Soap and Ghost both know they love each other, but they know if the higher-ups realise they're in a relationship, they will be separated and so yearning ensues (everyone around knows or suspects they love each other and are miserable apart, or maybe they assume they are already in a relationship, and make comments about it to Soap or Ghost, and that makes the two of them even more miserable because they thought they were hiding their feelings so well)
* A mission fic where they are betrayed by someone and have to be on the run;
* Ghost doesn't realise how far he's gone on Soap until he sees him getting hurt badly;
* Downtime but something goes wrong - are they ambushed, or maybe they knew they'd be ambushed, but the attack never came?
* Rudy and Alejandro - their past, how they came to know each other, who fell first - is it a mutual pining situation, or did Rudy love Alejandro since childhood? Does Alejandro know of his feelings?
* Rudy and Alejandro - with Alejandro being his superior officer, maybe Rudy tries to hide his feelings, hurting himself in the process? Or maybe he doesn't want to admit his oldest friend became someone he sees in a romantic light, doesn't know how to contain those feelings?
* Regency AU - is Soap a poor gardener and Ghost a mysterious lord? Or maybe they're both heirs destined to marry each other? Maybe they knew each other at school but something happened and Ghost stopped writing back, then they meet each other ten years later at a ball?

The Hobbit (Jackson Movies)  


Fandom specific DNWs:

• Focus on Thorin going gold-sick for a significant majority of the story

Fandom specific likes:

I like how sassy Bilbo is in the movies (he was sassy in the book too, but a little less in my opinion), and Thorin and Bilbo have so much chemistry! If you don't want them as a romantic pair, I like them as friends as well! I just think there is something special between them, and I think everyone around them sees it. 
I love how protective Thorin is of the Company (for a good reason!), and how they respect him and trust him. I love Thorin's big sad eyes.
The way dwarves can find joy in smallest things despite having lost their home is great.
I love that Gandalf just disappears in the middle of the story lol
I love great battles, and elves, and complicated politics, and dragons, and fantasy, and magic- you get the idea.

Prompts:

Go nuts! Want to do a Thilbo arranged marriage - fine by me! Want to focus on a background character - sure! Want to do an Outsiders Perspective on X character - yes please!
Maybe you want to do an AU where everyone lives, or a time travel au, or a fragment of Thorin's company before meeting Bilbo, or show me how they were on the road, or give them another adventure, all's good!
Maybe you want to show us what dwarves think of hobbits, maybe hobbits have some weird habits? Or maybe it's Bilbo getting surprised by the Company?
Maybe you want to do some angst or whump or hurt/comfort, or maybe you want them to have fun and chill for a bit. Maybe you want them to solve a mystery, or maybe you want to change the genre and surprise me!

Merlin (TV)  


Fandom specific DNWs:

• Morgana-bashing
  Merlin/Morgana
  Arthur/Morgana

Fandom specific likes:

I grew up with this show, I think I watched it at least three times on TV. I loved the setting and the characters (Gaius and Morgana and Gwen I think were my favourite, but love others as well! Maybe not Uther. He's a complex character but wouldn't want to be stuck in an elevator with him).
I love the bond between Merlin and Arthur, and how they grom to respect one another; no matter if it's romantic or platonic, I think they have some sort of connection that makes them destined for each other - as the show says, they are two sides of the same coin.
I also adore Merlin's relationship with Gaius and Gwen, and the Round Table Knights. He might not be a knight in a typical sense, but Merlin is very much a protector. 

Prompts:

Literally whatever you want. 

• What if Arthur knew about Merlin's magic from the get go? How did it happen?
• What if magic wasn't forbidden?
• Someone underestimating Merlin and Merlin proving them wrong - maybe showing off his proficiency in magic, or shows off in another way
• Someone underestimating magic and the knights defending him, only for Merlin to burst into the room, oblivious, proving how badass he is
• What if Arthur lived?
• What if Morgana trusted Merlin more, would she not have turned evil? What if they bonded more?
• Merlin and Arthur being siblings
