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

Chicago Fire
Matthew Casey/Kelly Severide
This is been my primary ship since the end of season 1.  While I don’t dislike the canon ships for Matt & Kelly, I am very much attached to these two.  I first started shipping them as Kelly and Matt repairing their issues stemming from Andy’s death after Hallie’s death and then it leading to more.  That being said, I’m open to alternative scenarios.  I’d also love to see kidfic with them.

It could also be interesting to see how Matt going to Oregon in season 10 would play out from a Matt/Kelly perspective.  Does Kelly go with?  Do they do the long-distance thing?

Sylvie Brett/Matthew Casey/Kelly Severide
I adore Sylvie & Matt, but I’m so attached to Matt & Kelly, that I was pretty much destined to have this AO3 the second the show started moving in a Sylvie/Matt direction.  I tend to assume that Matt/Kelly are the established couple and bring Sylvie into things in a similar timeframe that Sylvie/Matt happened in canon.  I’m still early in season 10, but I know enough of canon that I’m fine with elements of season 10 and 11 being included.

Kid fic is 1000% welcomed here.

CSI
Greg Sanders
Greg has been one of my favorites since I started watching the show.  A few ideas.  These can be left as gen, or combined with Nick/Greg.
1) A deeper exploration of Greg’s transition from lab rat to CSI.
2) Anything set between the end of CSI and his appearances on CSI: Vegas.
3) A CSI: Vegas AU where Greg returns to the lab permanently.

Greg Sanders/Nick Stokes
This is one of my oldest ships, so you pretty much can do no wrong here. My own personal head canon has them starting to date after Nick and the cable guy Stalker in season 2, but I also love to see alternative takes on that.

Any sort of hurt/comfort surrounding any of their traumatic canon events would be awesome and unfortunately for Nick and Greg, there are plenty to choose from.

I also have a weakness for kid fic with these two, especially where they adopt a child that was orphaned by one of the cases they work (i.e. Cassie in Gum Drops).

Nick Stokes
I’ve always adored Nick and was super bummed that he decided to leave right before the show was cancelled anyway and therefore wasn’t in Immortality because he was already written out.  I’ve got a few ideas here.  They can be left gen or combined with Nick/Greg.

1) An Immortality AU where Nick appears either a) because he never left or b) he comes back to be a good friend to Catherine.
2) Anything pre-series before Nick comes to Vegas.  Either his childhood/teen years/college or the early years of his career.
3) A deeper look at Nick’s recovery after any of canon’s traumatic events, especially Grave Danger.
4) A CSI: Vegas AU where Nick comes back to town after Brass gets attacked.  I’ve always headcanoned Brass as a second father figure to Nick.

ER
John Carter & Peter Benton
I love that this friendship endured pretty much the entire run of show, even though neither character was a regular the entire time.  I’d love to see any moment with them at any point either during the time they were both on the show, or after Benton left, or even post-series.

John Carter/Peter Benton
Taking Carter/Benton as a ship, I see happening post-series.  They’re both single, they’ve both through so much stuff, and things just evolved.  IIRC, the finale did make a passing reference to Cleo, but we’ll just pretend she’s been out of the picture for awhile.

Game of Thrones
Jamie Lannister/Brienne of Tarth
I’d love to see a season 8 AU where Jamie stays with Brienne and fully redeems himself for all the shit from the earlier seasons.  They made so much progress with that, and then undid all at the very end.

Jon Snow/Robb Stark
1) Follow the show canon, they think they’re brothers and don’t find out the truth during the time the relationship lasts.
2) They think they’re brothers when the relationship starts, but Ned fesses up before leaving Winterfell for King’s Landing. Jon is allowed to stay in Winterfell because Catelyn also knows the truth and stops hating Jon since Ned didn’t cheat on her.
3) They think they’re brothers when the relationship starts, Robb finds a way to keep Jon in Winterfell, the Red Wedding never happens, nothing with the Boltons ever happens, Ned is the only Stark that’s dead, and Jon and Robb find out together the truth of Jon’s parentage at the same timeframe as in canon.
4) Ned was always honest with Catelyn about Jon’s parentage. Jon and Robb are told when they’re old enough to understand why it needs to be kept secret. They already know they’re cousins when the relationship starts.
5) Everyone lives AU where Robb has a wife and his relationship with Jon on the side. They can either know the truth or still think they’re brothers.
6) Throw canon out the window and they are actually half-brothers.

Harry Potter
Draco Malfoy/Charlie Weasley
I definitely see Draco as the pursuer here because of the seven year age difference, with a side of “oh shit, I have feelings for a Weasley” because of the antagonism between the two families.

Draco means dragon, so that is definitely something that I’d love to see incorporated. I also love the idea of both of them teaching at Hogwarts after they settle down and have a family.

Marcus Flint/Percy Weasley
Percy is my favorite and this is a guilty pleasure pairing for me.  One thing I do not want to see is any cruelty on Marcus’s part or Percy feeling coerced into a relationship.  Despite any public antagonism at Hogwarts, these are two men that actually care about each other.

I’m good with either a secret relationship while they’re at Hogwarts or something where they get together as adults.  If you want to include Oliver knowing and thinking Percy is nuts, that would be a nice bonus.

Percy introducing Marcus to the Weasley clan and none of them being sure how to react would be awesome too.

Marcus Flint/Percy Weasley/Oliver Wood
This is another guilty pleasure.  I’m assuming that two are together first and bring in the third.  Percy/Oliver bringing in Marcus probably makes the most sense, but I’m open to the other alternatives.

Neville Longbottom
I’d love to see anything post books for Neville.  You can follow canon or you can throw it out the window and make up your own stuff.  I adore Neville/Ginny and dabble with Percy/Neville, but I’m open to other ships if you’re so inclined.

Percy Weasley
Percy is my absolute favorite character in this fandom. I’d be happy with pretty much anything, but I do have a few ideas.
1) Given the size of the Weasley family, I can see Percy being the forgotten middle child, especially given how much trouble Fred and George cause. I’d love to see something exploring his childhood pre-Hogwarts - his perfectionism and uprightness could definitely come from feeling like he has to be perfect - and better than his older brothers - to be noticed by his parents.
2) Percy is aware that Fudge is using him to get close to Harry and intentionally estranges himself from his family in order to protect Harry and keep Fudge away from him.
3) Anything post-series with Percy repairing his relationship to his family. I’d prefer an AU where Fred lives - I haven’t finished reading Deathly Hallows specifically because “if I didn’t read it, it never happened.”

Percy Weasley/Oliver Wood
My OTP. My headcanon is that they dated all through Hogwarts (we’ll just ignore that pesky canon girlfriend thing), so I’d love to see one of those little moments.

Sirius Black/Remus Lupin
I’d love to see either a) something from their Hogwarts days/shortly after graduation that shows the beginning of their relationship. If you go this route, please end it before James & Lily are killed and Sirius gets sent to Azkaban. Or b) and everyone lives AU that has Sirius & Remus rebuilding their relationship after Sirius’s escape from prison. You can go with Sirius being properly exonerated or having to stay in hiding - just as long as no one dies.

Law & Order
Connie Rubirosa
Being a badass in the courtroom would be awesome for Connie as well.  I pretend that Law & Order: Los Angeles doesn’t exist for so many reasons, so I’d love to see an alternative version of how she went from being an ADA in the Manhattan DA’s office to being an AUSA for the Southern District of New York.

If you want to make any relationship references, I ship Connie/Lupo.  Connie/Cutter is a DNW.

Cyrus Lupo
I’d love to see something in the decade between seasons 20 & 21.  Where did he go when he stopped being Bernard’s partner.  Is he in another precinct?  Did he finally finish law school, pass the bar, and is working from a lawyer?  Is he in an alternate universe crossover with FBI, where Jubal doesn’t exist because it’s actually Cyrus?

I ship Connie/Lupo, Cutter/Lupo, and Ed/Lupo if you want to include any ships.

Ed Green
I adore Ed so much and definitely did not take it well when he left the show.  I’d love to see what he does after leaving the NYPD.  I do ship Ed/Lupo, but tend to see them getting together after ED leaves the NYPD and they’re no longer partners.

Frank Cosgrove/Nolan Price
I didn’t expect to get any new ships from the revival, but then these two happened. I’m good with anything with these two. Please have Frank be divorced from his wife, preferably amicable. I’m not a fan of infidelity.

Jack McCoy
Jack is one of my favorite characters of all time.  Give me him being a BAMF in court, give me Jack/Claire content, give me Jack/Mike content (see below), give me Jack trying and failing to have a good relationship with his daughter, basically give me anything Jack and I will love you forever.

Michael Cutter
I’d love to see some post-season 20 fic for Mike.  He shows up as a bureau chief on SVU a couple times and then just disappears?  What is he up to now.

Aside from Jack/Mike below, I also ship Cutter/Lupo.  Connie/Cutter is a DNW.

Michael Cutter/Jack McCoy
This is one of my all-time favorite ships. Some ideas:
1) When Mike gives Jack the tie pin, it changes things between them and get together.
2) Arguing about the approach to a case leads to them hooking up in one of their offices.
3) They are already an established couple at the start of season 18. All the arguing at work is a cover.
4) Mike is one of Jack’s assistants in the earlier seasons and start dating during this time. When Mike gets promoted and starts trying cases on his own, all the defense attorneys go “well f***k” because from working together, they’re basically the same person in the courtroom and now there’s two of them.

Nolan Price
I’d love to see Nolan’s past as a defense attorney explored as it definitely would be influencing his current role as a prosecutor.

Perry Mason
Della Street
How does Della keep the firm afloat during the four months that Perry is in jail?

I’d also love to see her in action once she become a lawyer.

Hamilton Burger
I’d love to see a deeper exploration of Ham as a gay man in a position of power in the 1930s, having to hide his sexual orientation in order to keep his career and livelihood.  The aftermath of being blackmailed over his sexuality in season 2 would also be interesting to explore.

I do ship Ham/Perry.

Perry Mason
I’d love to see something post-season 2 that explores Perry’s next steps after he gets out of jail.

I ship Ham/Perry, but I’m also fine with the canon love interest of his son’s teacher, or just keeping things gen.

Smallville
Before going into my thoughts for each pairing, I am fine with both of them being included in the same story, where Clark and Lex date in the early seasons, break up probably season 4ish (it’s been a few years since I’ve watched so I’m a little fuzzy on my timeline) and then Clark and Lois get together around when they do in canon.

Clark Kent/Lex Luthor
I shipped these two pretty much from the show’s start, though it clearly has some complications because of a) Lex being 6 years older than Clark and b) Jonathan Kent’s dislike of the Luthors. I’d love to see how they manage a relationship around their complications. Perhaps Clark comes clean with Lex about who he is and prevents a lot of the strife the show put in after the first few seasons.

Clark Kent/Lois Lane
I’d love to see the missing years from the events of most of the season finale to the time jump at the end where they’re finally getting married. What happens during that time frame and why does it take them so long to finally tie the knot?

Stargate Atlantis
Sam Carter & John Sheppard
My headcanon is that Sam & John have been friends for years pre-series, so I’d love to see how that translates to Sam being his boss during season 4 of SGA.

Stargate SG-1
Jack O’Neill
I’d love to see some glimpses of Jack’s life that would have occurred during seasons 9 & 10 when he’s not around all the time anymore.

Sam Carter
I’d love to see a deeper exploration of Sam finding her way in a male dominated arena.  I feel like she uses a masculine-sounding nickname for a reason.

Daniel Jackson/Jack O’Neill
SG-1 had already stopped airing  by the time I started watching, so I knew enough plot going in that by the midway point of season 1, I was already trying to decide how much time Daniel would need to get over Sha’re and get with Jack.  I’d love to see the evolution of their relationship to the point where they finally become lovers.  I’m fine with them having to date within the confines of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell or a case where DADT is technically policy, but no one in the Stargate Program cares, or pretending that policy never existed and bigotry isn’t an issue.

Sam Carter & Daniel Jackson
I’d love to see moments with them where Sam’s science side takes a front seat to the military side.

Sam Carter & Daniel Jackson & Jack O’Neill & Teal’c
I loved to see moments of the rest of the team explaining some of the weirder parts of Earth to Teal’c.
