Genre thoughts: I love both the fluffiest of fluff and the smuttiest of smut. I don’t expect to see both in the same fic, but if you can make it work, power to you. I have a complicated relationship with angst - it’s fine if there’s some there, but I prefer it conclude with a happy ending. Given that I have multiple fandoms that include teenagers, please make sure everyone is 18+ - and that it’s made clear in the fic - if there’s going to be any smut.
Character death thoughts: Permanently killing a main character is a big fat DNW for me. Referencing the death of a minor character is okay, as long as it’s not a primary plot point. Basically - fic opens at a funeral or passing reference to someone that died before the events of the story, okay. Minor character dying in the middle of the story, DNW. Temporary character death is okay, as long as the resurrection occurs at the end of the story. Fix-it option for anyone dead in canon.
Pregnancy/kid fics: Yes please. I adore all sorts of kid fics. While I’m okay with mpreg as a general concept, I don't really see it fitting any of the requests this time.
SFW DNWS: on screen-death of any character, permanent death of a major character, angsty endings
NSFW DNWS: dub-con/non-con (unless otherwise explicitly stated), extreme kink, body fluids not meant to be involved in sex
Star Trek: Alternate Original Series
James T. Kirk & Christopher Pike
I’d love to see more of Pike being a mentor to Kirk and perhaps a father figure as well. You can follow canon or have an AU where Pike enters Kirk’s life much sooner.
James T. Kirk & Leonard "Bones" McCoy
I’d love to see something between when they first meet and when Kirk gets busted cheating on the Kobayashi Maru. It’s clear that they’ve become best friends but I’d love to see something that shows how they got there.
James T. Kirk & Spock
I’d love to see moments of them building their friendship given that they got off to such an antagonistic start.
James T. Kirk & Spock Prime
After their initial interaction, we never see Kirk and Spock Prime together again. Part of that might be Spock Prime keeping his distance because he feels responsible for Jim’s life playing out differently, but I’d still like to see some little moments of them keeping in touch.
James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy
I’ve been shipping these two since the very first time that I saw Trek 2009 and I would love to see a first time fic with them. It can be set during the time jump in that movie or later one once their positions on the Enterprise are established.
James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock
I see this as Kirk & Bones being as established couple and then mutually deciding to seduce Spock. Timeline wise I see this as being either between Trek 2009 and Into Darkness or between Into Darkness and Beyond.
James T. Kirk/Spock
I see this as the enemies to friends to lovers companion to the platonic counterpart above. I’d love to see how their relationship evolves over time.
Star Trek: Discovery
I’m currently through season 2, episode 7. I might edit some more things in as I continue to watch.
Hugh Culber/Paul Stamets
I’d love to see any domestic moment between these two.
Michael Burnham & Saru
This is by far my favorite friendship on this show given how it evolved over time. I’d love to see more moments of them essentially functioning as each other’s found families.
Michael Burnham/Ash Tyler | Voq
I loved Michael and Ash so much and was gutted when the Voq reveal happened. I’d love to see either a) an AU where Ash is just Ash and he never was also Voq or b) an AU where Michael is able to reconcile the fact that Voq is no longer part of Ash and they’re able to get back together.
Michael Burnham/Gabriel Lorca | Mirror Gabriel Lorca
I literally started shipping these two half an episode before the reveal that Lorca was Mirror Lorca. I’d love to see an AU where they never make it back to Mirror Lorca’s universe and therefore we never find out he’s evil. Or maybe Michael sleeps with him between the Ash is Voq reveal and the Lorca is Mirror Lorca reveal and has to deal with that fallout.
Michael Burnham/Mirror Gabriel Lorca/Ash Tyler
I see this as a mirror universe moment before the Ash is Voq and Lorca is Mirror Lorca reveals. It can fade to black before the truth comes out or you can include Michael having to grapple with truth.
Sylvia Tilly & Michael Burnham
I wasn’t sure about Tilly when I first starting watching, but now I love their friendship. I’ve love to see a mentorship moment between the two.
