AU Exchange 2022 Letter

Hello, AU Exchange creator! Below are things I like about my requested ships, as well as thoughts on the freeforms. I know this letter is very long; I enjoy writing ideas for prompts as part of exchanges. All of these prompts are just suggestions; I am typically very easy to please. I like a lot of things (as you can probably tell from my sign-up), and I’m sure I’ll love whatever you come up with! Don’t feel boxed in by my prompts; if you have some inspiration from my freeforms that take you in a different direction than what I might write in the prompt; go for it!

I enjoy any rating, from general to smut and everything in between. I would like some shippiness in my gift, at least a dash of romance or a kiss. If you write explicit sex, I don’t care who tops or who bottoms, and if you go kink/BDSM route, I don’t care what kind of kinks they are into as long as they aren’t in my DNW list. I enjoy shibari, light impact play, praise, D/S dynamics (I don’t care who doms who), bondage, teasing, lingerie (on both parties), voyeurism, sem-public sex, and orgasm delay/control.

I love getting art gifts. I’m big into sweet and fluffy shit; people gazing into each other’s eyes, kisses, close ups of hands and pretty scenery, bold colors. I have some generic art likes below and I’ll try to prompt for that as well.

Tropes I Like:
A/B/O - I generally enjoy A/B/O, usually when there is an emphasis on the courtship phase of it. I don’t have many preferences around who is Alpha/Beta/Omega, but I do want there to be consent and enjoyment between the pairs as they get together. IE no forced mating, etc.I really enjoy smut in this setting, as well as emphasis on mating bites and scents.

Fake Dating - Nnnnggghh. Be it for a mission or to impress a relative or to get a ticket to an exclusive event where you have to be with someone - I’m down. Give me all the awkward first kisses that turn out way better than you thought it would. This trope also goes amazingly well with ‘Only One Bed.’

First Time with Partner of Same Gender - I love the idea of Character A not realizing they are into the same gender until Character B came along. Give me all the hesitant, unsure looks and possible flirting, the want to touch but unsure how, and just general confusion about their sexuality and feeling that chemistry they never expected to feel with the same gender.

Kink Discovery - I really enjoy a character experiencing a kink for the first time, maybe something they never really thought about before, and discovering how much they really enjoy it.

Only One Bed - God I adore this so much. You have no idea. Those moments where they want to touch but aren’t sure, gradually moving towards each other? Yes plz.

Sex Pollen - I’m all in on this one. Many of my fandoms have magic or some kind of other worldly element where they can stumble upon a horny spell or plant. Give me that delicious frantic sex, followed by awkwardness and tension until they admit all.

Shop AU - I LOVE shop AU’s. Coffee shops, magic shops, book stores, retail shops - I’m down for it. I’m fine if the gang works at one, or one MC works at the shop and the other is a customer.

Soulmates - I ADORE soulmate fics. Marks or threads or soulmate magic - I’m down for any and all of it.

AUs I like:
Austen-type historical
Futuristic
I LOVE Magic AUs
Modern
Mundane
Shop (Coffee, Magic, Book, whatever!)

Other Moments/Random Crap I like:
Collarbone Kisses
Feeling their partner’s heartbeat speed up through hand on wrist/chest/neck
Finding body parts sexy that you usually wouldn’t think are sexy - like forearms, knees, collarbones, etc
First Time Sexual Experience - first time with oral sex, topping, bottoming, etc
Laughter During Sex
Hands on the back of the neck or the ass
Lifting Partner during Sex
Massage Turns Sexual
Shower Sex
Strip Poker
Tender Sex with Lots of Eye Contact & Barely Repressed Feelings
That moment when the mission is over and the tie is undone and the sleeves are pushed up

Boy Meets World

Jack Hunter/Eric Matthews (BMW) - GOD, these two. They dated the best Disney would let them. Check out this video if you missed all the subtext. I beg of you to give us another look at what could have happened with these two if things were just a little bit different. I’d also be fine if you want to lean into the earlier seasons of Eric, where he wasn’t quite as dumb as the later seasons.

What I love about Jack and Eric is how silly they are, how much they help each other grow throughout the series, and their chemistry. I’d love to see more of these characters exploring their sexuality and discovering new things about themselves. I’d also love any alternative glimpses of what could have been in the future for them - what if Eric didn’t become a senator, and instead worked in a coffee shop forever? What if Jack didn’t quit the peace corps and opened up a cat rescue instead?

Boy Meets World: the WWII episode is reality - This is in reference to Season 5, Episode 6, “No Guts, No Cory,” which is an AU episode around WWII. Jack goes off to fight and Eric gives Jack a picture of him to take with him. I’d love an AU reunion fic, or a fic of how these two got together in this universe. In the episode, Eric got turned away from the army, but this is an AU, so if you wanna put them together in the barracks, go for it!



ALL: Animal Shelter AU, ALL: Cat Rescue AU - I’m a sucker for animals in fics, so I’d love an AU where either Jack or Eric work/volunteer at a rescue, or maybe an AU future fic where one of them runs it. Maybe Eric runs a rescue in the country, and Workaholic!Jack finds out and just has to see him again. Or vice versa - maybe Jack stays in the Peace Corps, and after he opens an exotic animal rescue in NY that Senator Eric Matthews visits for a photo op - and maybe he has no idea that Jack is running it until he gets there. So many possibilities, and cute animals!

I’d also love art of these two with their pets or a herd of animals - kittens or puppies or ferrets crawling over Eric, Jack laughing at him with a box of kittens. Or looking freaked out over Eric bringing home a box of kittens. I’d also enjoy a portrait of Senator Eric and his husband, or maybe something with these two and their matching soulmarks.

ALL: Characters are rival social media influencers - This one cracked me up. I could see this as a college-canon set story, or an alternate future, where both of them are IG crossfit influencers or something like that. They could know each other beforehand or meet that way, and as they try to one-up each other in the stupidest ways possible, sparks fly!

ALL: Characters have past agreement to get married if both are still single at age 30- I could totally see this happening in canon. I could totally see Jack making this pact when he’s drunk, and Eric taking it seriously, and then Jack turns 30 and Eric’s ready with a ring. Maybe Jack’s not been ready to face up to his feelings for Eric, and he pushes it off as a joke until he realizes how much he didn’t want it to be a joke.

ALL: Coffee Shop AU, ALL: Co-owners of a shop AU, ALL: Flower Shop AU, ALL: Library AU, ALL: retail workers au - I grouped most of the shop AUs together. I really love shop AUs, they just hit me in the perfect fluffy spot. I’d love either one of these two as a barista falling for a customer, or both of them working in the same shop falling for each other. I mean we’ve basically already seen it, just give me an AU with more kissing!



I could see Eric working in a flower shop, as being amazing with putting out colorful bouquets, and Jack keeps coming in to get flowers for his dates. But then he keeps coming in even when he has no dates because he loves talking to Eric.

For Library AU, I could see Jack working there as Eric comes in researching crazy stuff, or maybe looking for a job. Eric’s goofiness hits Jack in the right spot, leading to a late-night makeout in the stacks.

All: dating a single parent AU - I enjoy single parents finding love, and I think there is a ton of potential here with these two. Especially if Jack is a single dad, determined to do better than his dad did with him. Maybe he’s trying to patch things up with Shawn, and he runs into Eric at a Matthews gathering, and they pick up right where they left off. And of course Jack’s little spawn loves Eric. Or maybe they don’t, who knows!

ALL: First time they meet is in a gay bar instead - This could be set during show canon or later in life. Maybe Jack is with some friends for a birthday or bachelor party, insists he’s not gay, but then he runs into Eric, and has to have just one dance. Or Eric is dipping his toe in that side of himself, he runs into Jack, and then they’re making out in one of those club bathrooms with no door on the stall. I’d love to see how these two do when they meet with an immediate romantic context.

ALL: first words to soulmate written on the skin, ALL: Soulmate-Identifying Timers AU - I’m a sucker for soulmate fics, and I’d love either of these tropes with these two. I LOVE the movie TiMer, so a fic with that dynamic between Jack and Eric would be amazing. I could see Eric immediately getting a timer, and Jack not wanting to. Eric’s timer would be blank, and it would make him so sad, especially with Cory and Topanga’s going off like instantly - feel free to throw in some Cory/Topanga/Shawn here if you want, I’m totally down for that - and maybe Eric talks Jack into finally getting a timer, or maybe Shawn does.

The first words they had in the show were pretty generic, just, “Hey guys!” and “Hey.” So generic and I can totally see Eric running around once he’s of age to activate his words trying to get someone to say his words, while Jack just never wants to talk to anyone because he doesn’t want a soulmate. Or maybe their first meeting was completely different, and the words shock both of them.

ALL: Married with cats - Just good old married boys with cats. Maybe years down the line, they’re married and Eric comes home with a box full of kittens that he found and just couldn’t leave. Or maybe work in the AU: Cat Rescue here too, and our married boys are living their best lives running that animal rescue. This prompt screams fluff and silliness and happiness to me.



All: Massage Therapist AU - I’m a sucker for a friendly massage that turns sensual. Maybe this could be partly in canon, which Jack going to school for massage therapy, and he tests it out on Eric… and things get steamy.

ALL: Model/Photographer AU - I love this trope so much. You could keep Senator Eric for this, maybe he has some headshots taken for his campaign, and the photographer is Jack. They talk and flirt, and Eric gets more comfortable in front of the camera, and then they get really comfortable behind it. This could be an Actor AU, where one of them is a famous actor getting photographed for a magazine or whatnot, and sparks fly during the shoot. Let your imagination run wild!



ALL: Road Trip AU - I love two people talking and discovering how much they like each other. Maybe they’re meeting for the first time on this trip, put together via Corey & Shawn for reasons, or maybe Jack wants to take a road trip to see some distant relative he didn’t know he had. Maybe Eric wants to drive down to Texas for SXSW for reasons, and Jack goes with him. I’ll take long talks as they drive down dark highways, a broken down car, a hotel with only one bed - so many possibilities!

ALL: Strip Club AU - You could do the obvious sexy strip dancer here, and I would LOVE it - maybe Jack dances for money, and Eric walks in and is instantly taken. And Jack sees him, and is drawn to him as well. You could also do something sillier - like maybe Jack and Eric go to a strip club with Corey and Shawn for Corey’s bachelor party, and as a joke Eric gets up on the stage for a dare/joke. And he’s really good. And Jack just cannot handle it.

ALL: Tattoo Parlor AU - This falls right in line with my love for shop AUs. I could see either Jack or Eric as the tattoo artist here, and I’d love a first meeting where one of them is the customer. Maybe Jack is really taken with Eric the artist, but he doesn’t know how to handle it because Eric’s a dude, so he just keeps going back for tattoos. Maybe Eric goes to Jack’s shop and flirts, but Jack doesn’t think he’s serious, but Eric just keeps coming back and grows on Jack. Like a fungus.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Faith Lehane/Buffy Summers (BtVS-TV) - BtVS has been my long-time favorite show, and I love the possibilities between Buffy and Faith. The frenemies vibes, the chemistry, the banter between both - so good! The AU potential is strong here - I’m open to both canon vampire/slayer stuff, or normal AUs as well, where they’re just regular women figuring their shit out. Since part of this canon is set in high school, don’t worry about the underage DNW for these two; I’m fine with both parties being teenagers or adults.

For art - I’d love images of these two with soulmarks, or maybe something naught from ALL: Strip Club AU or a tatted up Buffy/Faith from ALL: Tattoo Parlor AU. I’d also enjoy Vampire!Buffy about to bite Faith, or vice versa.


BtVS: Faith is the one to go after Buffy and spend the night with her in Touched - I’m not a fan of how everyone reacted to Buffy in this season, and I’d love an AU where Faith goes after Buffy. Maybe she apologizes, maybe they argue, but they definitely kiss and they spend the night together.



BTVS: Buffy is turned into a vampire while remaining a Slayer - Give me all the angst! Maybe once Buffy turns, she goes after Faith, because she’s had all these feelings she’s finally letting see the light of day. Maybe Buffy turns Faith and we have lesbian murder vampires (this would consititue a happy ending in my book, btw). You could do an AU where Buffy is turned into a vamp when she first becomes a slayer, so she goes to Sunnydale as a vamp, and Faith is assigned to Sunnydale as the slayer, so everyone meets each other for the first time in that dynamic and boy do all the sparks fly! Basically I’m open to any way you want to turn Buffy, and the chaos that would follow.

BtVS: Faith meets Buffy when she’s living as a runaway in LA - I really love this prompt! Buffy is so damaged from Becoming here, and maybe Faith isn’t a slayer yet, but the potential is there. Maybe they run into each other in a dark alley, or maybe Faith comes into the diner where Buffy is waitressing. There’s an attraction, a conversation, and it grows from there. You could also fold in All: Met while captured together here; maybe Buffy gets involved in stopping evil (because she just can’t not), and winds up taken hostage, with Faith in her cell. And then, you know. Hot cell make-out session. You could also tie this in with ALL: Strip Club AU - maybe Buffy goes to a strip club in LA (you know, for evil reasons…) and there’s Faith, dancing on stage.

ALL: Character Journeys To The Underworld to Rescue Their Dead Lover - I love this for either Buffy or Faith. You could set this right after the Gift; maybe Faith has to be the one to go back for Buffy because only a slayer can take whatever has to be done to get her to the Underworld. Or maybe Faith is the one that dies, and Buffy loses her shit and goes after her. I’m a fan of someone not realizing their feelings until they lose/almost lose someone (see also: ALL: Near Fatal Injury Brings Characters Together), and then going fucking feral to get them back or save them. Or maybe Buffy/Faith doesn’t even realize why they’re so driven to get the other back, they just know they have to. In any case, I’d love a journey through the Underworld/Hellmouth to rescue their loved one.

ALL: Character Saved From Death via Emergency Vampire Transformation - This one is fascinating to me- same kind of deal as above, Buffy/Faith is about to lose the other and can’t deal, so they make the call to turn them. The fallout from that, the, “Why did you do this? Why didn’t you let me die?” Followed by a confession of love… give it to me!

ALL: First time they meet is in a gay bar instead - I’d love to see these two meet under different circumstances. This could be in canon, or a human AU. Maybe Faith is there looking to get laid, and Buffy is there to hang out with Willow. Buffy thinks she’s straight, but she meets Faith, and she gets the good down-low tickle, and she can’t help but dance with her. And other stuff.

ALL: BDSM AU - Saving an Abused Sub - I enjoy BDSM fics, and I also love hurt/comfort, and this prompt feels like it has all that wrapped up in it. I’m cool with doing a BDSM universe, or just having Buffy and Faith be in the BDSM scene. I picture Faith as the abused sub, and Buffy realizing what’s going on and helping her get away from her abusive dom. I’d also be down with the roles either way, if you have a bunny for that!

ALL: Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters AU - Okay, this is very very similar to Buffy, I know, but the movie was so much fun. I’d love to see Buffy and Faith tossed in. Maybe Buffy and Willow are the Hansel/Gretel characters, or even Faith and Willow or Faith and Xander or whoever.They are living their life, killing witches and monsters, and come upon Faith’s village, which needs saving from an evil witch. Faith could be the ‘good’ witch here, that has to show Buffy that not all witches are evil. Bonus points if they have sex in the healing waters of the forest. :D

ALL: Magic Powers Boosted By Sex - This would be a VERY interesting aspect to being a slayer. Maybe it’s known that you’re stronger right after you fuck, or the slayer can cast spells after an orgasm. I would love to see Giles delivering that news to Buffy, and Xander offering to ‘take one for the team,’ and getting shut down. Maybe there’s a really hard super villain coming up and Buffy and Faith need the power up, so they gotta, you know - do some stuff. Much sexy potential here!

All: Massage Therapist AU - I’m a sucker for a massage that turns sexy. You could do Faith or Buffy being a professional masseuse that gets really unprofessional during a session, or maybe somewhere in canon Faith goes to school for massage and tests it out on Buffy. Any way you slice it, I want an innocent little massage that turns down and dirty.

ALL: Resurrection Is Possible But Creates a Soul Bond, ALL: Soulbonding is the only way to save seriously injured character's life - Really intrigued by these ideas! Same idea as turning Buffy/Faith into a vamp to save her life, I’d love to read about the lengths they’d go to save the other. I really enjoy soul bonds/soulmates, so if Faith would wake up from near death, or come back from the dead, to find that Buffy saved her life by voluntarily being soulbound to her - I’d love to see Faith’s reaction to that.

ALL: Sex as a normal part of training - I have no idea how this would go down, but I love it. Maybe sex is a normal part of cardio workouts! Maybe routine sex is part of a slayer’s regime because she has to have regular orgasms to keep her slayer powers going. Idk, I’d just love to see Faith and Buffy dealing with this together - maybe sex is just like jumping jacks, but Buffy realizes that when it’s with Faith, it’s different! I’m open to any interpretations of this, haha.

ALL: Soulmates - Bond Suddenly Activated If Someone Is Gravely Injured, ALL: Soulmates - Scars appear on each other's skin, ALL: Soulmates feel each other's pain and pleasure - As I said before, I love soulmates, and these aspects in a Slayer world are really intriguing.I especially love a bond being activated when one is gravely injured - the surprise at Faith and Buffy realizing they are soulmates when one is about to die. That would tie REALLY well into any of the prompts where feelings are realized by someone dying/about to die. The scars prompt would be intriguing, as maybe Slayers only get scars from certain weapons, like holy water - so Buffy goes her entire life without any scars, and she thinks she doesn’t have a soulmate. But then maybe Faith gets sliced on the arm with a holy-water enriched blade (or whatever), and it shows up on Buffy’s body - cue surprised pikachu Buffy.

ALL: Strip Club AU - This would go really well with BtVS: Faith meets Buffy when she’s living as a runaway in LA - maybe Buffy really needs cash in LA, and turns to stripping. Or Buffy goes to a strip club (strictly for preventing-evil reasons), and there’s Faith, dancing on stage. Maybe Buffy works with her to find the evil, or maybe they just jump each other.

ALL: Tattoo Parlor AU - I love shop AUs, and I really love the idea of Faith or Buffy tattooing each other. I’m not sure if slayer skin would accept tattoos, so feel free to make this a human AU, or make it even more magical - maybe Tattooist!Faith uses magical ink that will stay on a slayer’s skin. Maybe Buffy needs tattoos for slayer stuff, and Faith is a well-known magical tattooist brought in by Giles. Or vice versa! In any case, give me tattoos and hot girls and I’m happy.

Captain America (Movies)

Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanov (CA Movies) - I’ve requested these before; I love this pairing. I just love Natasha falling for Steve, and Steve being caught off guard. What I enjoy about these two are, besides their smoking chemistry, the fact that they both seem rather lost at times. Natasha with her red ledger, and Steve being out of his own time.

I’d enjoy any AU with these, superhero or non-powered or whatever. I just want them to be HAPPY together. One draw with these two is that I do think Steve would help draw Natasha out of that dark place she thinks she belongs in, and I would like to keep that aspect in whatever kind of AU you may write.

For art, stolen moments in between missions/fights would be amazing, Steve tending to Nat’s wounds, or maybe Steve showing Nat how to throw his shield (I know, she knows, but maybe she agrees to some ‘practice’ after she comes back alive from Vormir. The moment where Goose the Angry Flerken decides that Steve and Nat are soulmates would be amazing, or Nat meeting WWII Steve.



MCU: Natasha doesn't die and Steve stays in the present, MCU: Natasha Romanov Lives - I’d be really happy with any kind of in-canon AU where Natasha doesn’t die and ends up with Steve. You could have them spending those years in the snap dancing around each other for a bit before descending into grief-banging that turns into more. Maybe they don’t realize just how ‘more’ it is until they get everyone back from the snap and things can go back to ‘normal’... and they realize there’s one thing they don’t want to give up.

Please do not kill Clint in order to keep Natasha alive; he’s one of my favorite MCU characters and I don’t really want to see him dead either.

MCU: Soulmates Decided by Goose the Angry Flerken - I love soulmates, and this prompt is just amazing. How does Goose make this decision? How do you know when the decision is made? Maybe Goose took Fury’s eye because Fury refused to accept whoever his soulmate was. In any case, go silly or serious or whatever you want with this prompt, because I’d love to see Natasha’s reaction to a Flerken deciding who she should be with.

MCU: the soul stone causes Natasha to travel back in time to before the Avengers movie MCU: The soul stone causes Natasha to travel back in time to WWII - Damn, these prompts are delicious. There’s so much possibility here - for the Avengers prompt, you could do it from the current-Natasha POV, or one from Avengers-Natasha POV - where she’s visited by her future self and told where shit is leading. And Avengers-Natasha’s attempts to prevent the snap bring her and Steve closer together.



I’d also love to see Natasha showing up in WWII. Maybe she saves Steve and thinks he’ll reunite with Peggy, but instead he wants Natasha to help him save Bucky in the past - and along the way he develops feelings for Natasha. Or maybe Steve was always destined to go into the ice, but when he wakes up in the future, it’s with memories of Natasha - and he immediately seeks her out.

ALL: Animal Shelter AU - I’d love to see Natasha running an animal shelter, maybe with Yelena, and Steve coming in to adopt a pet. Or this could be set in canon, with Steve wanting to adopt a dog, and Natasha goes with him as support - and she winds up leaving with a pet kitty (Liho was her cat in 616, but I don’t care what you name the cat or even if she gets a cat). Basically tough characters adopting pets is my jam no matter how you slice it.



ALL: Artist/Model AU - Artist!Steve in class, or even just on a job, and in walks Natasha as his model? Yes, please! She could be nude or in lingerie or whatever works for you, but I’d love these two making eyes at each other as Steve draws/paints/sculpts Natasha. And if you want to flip it, with Natasha as the artist, I am here for it!



ALL: A/B/O - Elaborate courtship rituals, All: Character Tries to Woo and Honorably Marry Their Fellow Sex Pollen Victim - I grouped these two tags together because I love courting/wooing, and they are easily put together, if you wanna do sex pollen in an A/B/O universe. The courting potential is one of my favorites with A/B/O, and I could totally see Steve, maybe after helping Natasha with a heat, want to full-out court her. I could also very much see him trying to woo and marry Natasha after they get dosed with sex pollen and things happen. You know, sexy things.

I don’t need the fic to end with Natasha accepting marriage or going along with all the formal stuff, but I do want them together in the end, even if it’s Natasha agreeing to give Steve a real chance. I would see Natasha as thinking Steve is just doing the ‘right thing’ and that he doesn’t have actual feelings for her, so she tries to let him off the hook. I’d also love to see Natasha’s reaction to being courted/wooed - maybe it’s a first for her, and she enjoys it more than she expected. I’d also love to see playful teasing from Clint/Bucky/whoever their friends are in this universe to the whole situation.

All: Bodyguard AU - I would LOVE to see Natasha as Steve’s bodyguard. I’d be fine with this as a non-powered AU, you could do pre-serum Steve or super-serum Steve in terms of his body type and I’d love it. Maybe Steve is a famous artist, and a fan is obsessed with him, and Tony hires a bodyguard for him - and in walks Natasha. She’s lethal and protects Steve with everything she has, and they can’t help but fall for each other.

ALL: Characters initially meet at kink or sex club - I’d be down with this in a non-powered AU or in some canon setting. You could set it before Steve gets famous, and toss in some identity porn - maybe Steve has heard of Black Widow and is even hunting her, and has no idea she’s the beauty he meets at his favorite kink club. You could also have them meet at Steve’s first time at the club, and Natasha shows him the ropes, or vice versa.

ALL: Magic Powers Boosted By Sex - This is a fun one! Maybe Steve’s serum kicks into overdrive after he fucks, and he needs to ‘charge up’ before hard fights. Maybe Natasha can access actual magical powers after sex. Maybe sex is pretty casual/common among superheroes in this AU, but it becomes special with Steve and Nat.

ALL: Resurrection Is Possible But Creates a Soul Bond, ALL: Soulbonding is the only way to save seriously injured character's life - I love these prompts for the potential angst. I could see either party volunteering to do this, maybe in the spur of the moment, and after agonizing b/c they feel they took away the other person’s possibility to soulbond. Cue angst and maybe talk of reversing it until they realize maybe they wanna keep it.

ALL: Ritual Sex Required To Save The World - This is basically Fuck or Die, and again, so much potential for angst and miscommunication. I’d go for a lovely PWP along these lines, and open to any possible backstories - maybe they were FWB before this, or exes-to-lovers, or maybe they never really considered each other that way until this moment. Maybe they agree to “do it and never talk about it again,” but one of them can’t help but think about it like, ALL THE TIME. I’d enjoy a fic that focuses just on the aftermath of the ritual sex, to see what happens once the world is saved and they have to live in a world where they know what the other person sounds like when they come.

ALL: Sex as a normal part of training - I don’t know how this would go, but I’d love to see what you can do with it. Especially if this is something that came about in the last few decades, and it’s very new to just-work-up-from-the-ice Steve. It could be a part of the come-down for Steve, maybe from the serum - maybe it was something he took care of himself before, but now Natasha can offer a helping hand.

ALL: Soulmarks - appear after your soulmate gives you your first orgasm, All: Soulmates - You can’t tell who your soulmate is until you fuck them, ALL: Soulmates feel each other's pain and pleasure - I love any soulmate AUs, and these prompts really appeal to me. I like the two not knowing they’re soulmates, and then it hits them out of nowhere. Maybe Natasha and Steve have casual sex, and Natasha never imagines that Steve would be her soulmate while Steve is hoping she is. I see Natasha as secretly wanting a soulmate and also not wanting one, because she was always taught a soulmate was a weakness. But Steve wants to show her that’s not the case.

For feeling each other's pain and pleasure - always a ton of potential there, especially since maybe Steve doesn’t really feel a lot of pain due to the serum - so they both assume they don’t have soulmates, because neither feels any pain.

ALL: Tattoo Parlor AU - I could see Steve or Natasha as the tattoo artist here. I especially love the idea of a non-powered AU where Steve goes in for a tattoo of Natasha, really likes her and wants to ask her out, but is nervous and instead just keeps getting tattoos. Or maybe a damaged Natasha goes into Steve’s shop, and she gets a tattoo as they talk, and they fall for each other along the way. I’d also go for both of them being tattoo artists that work together and fall for each other. Basically I’d love for someone to get fucked in those tattoo chairs (and they santize it very well after).

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (TV)

James "Bucky" Barnes/Sam Wilson (TFATWS) - I am so soft for these two. I love how they snark and snipe at each other, and I’d love any AU fic where these two find their way to each other. I’m really into care-taking for these two, be it Sam taking care of an injured or recovering Bucky, or Bucky doing the same for Sam. I do enjoy the aspect of Bucky feeling like he’s not worthy of affection or love, and Sam unable to stop himself from feeling that for Bucky. I also do like the dynamic of Sam being ‘normal’ in terms of superheroes, but don’t let that stop you from writing an non-powered AU.

The banter and arguing is key for me between these two—the UST that they don’t want to admit exists that comes out in snark and attitude. At least in the MCU universe, I definitely see these two as not admitting their feelings to each other unless they are pushed/have to.

I am from Louisiana, so I am partial to fics set there (as long as you don’t talk about them going to the bayou every other sentence. Really we don’t hang out at the bayou as often as the TV thinks we do). No matter what kind of AU you write, I’d like for Bucky to only have one arm (I’m fine with him having whatever kind of prosthetic you want him to have, including not having one at all).

I would love art of these two sparring together, or maybe flat-out fighting, if Bucky is still partially the Winter Soldier - and Sam trying desperately not to defend himself, and pull Bucky out of it. Sam turning into a cat would be fun, especially with Bucky being amused nearby, or just soft art of these two at their home in Louisiana.

MCU: Bucky is not completely deprogrammed from being the Winter Soldier - This prompt is delicious! I”m a big fluff lover, but I also really love some good angst, and this prompt is ripe for it. I’d enjoy something set right after CA:WS - maybe Sam helps Steve track down Bucky, and he finds him, and Bucky takes Sam with him on the run - and Sam finds himself held hostage by someone that is sometimes Steve’s damaged BFF and sometimes a homicidal assassin. I’d be down for some dubious consent in this scenario, where Bucky maybe pushes Sam for something SAm wants, but knows he shouldn’t give into…

MCU: Sam can talk to birds - I see this as a fun prompt, though I’m down with however you wanna write it (aka if you have an angsty bird-talking plot bunny, let it flow). I’m not partial to how Sam can talk to birds - he could be born with it, it could be a result of a spell, etc. It would be a pretty cool compliment to his wings, to add in that communication. It would be fun to see Bucky with wide-eyes as Sam sends birds to poop on his head or whatever.

MCU: Soulmates Decided by Goose the Angry Flerken - This is just so ridiculous, I want it so bad. Especially if Bucky starts petting Goose because he thinks he’s just a cat, and Goose is so please he gives Bucky a soulmate.

MCU: Sam irritates the wrong Wakandan deity and is cursed with cat characteristics - This just makes me laugh. I LOVE characters adopting pets, and the idea of Bucky taking care of Sam as he develops cat characteristics - love it.

ALL: Cat Rescue AU - Again, I love it when characters adopt pets, and I love Bucky and Alpine. In the comics, Sam had a cat named Figaro as well. I’d be down for Bucky running a cat rescue, or Sam running one, or Bucky goes to adopt a cat and Sam goes with him, or these two are in an established relationship and they go together to get a pet. Anything as long as it involves these two strong men melting over cute kitties.



ALL: Characters initially meet at kink or sex club, ALL: First time they meet is in a gay bar instead, ALL: Ship had a one night stand the time they met - I would be super into reading about these two meeting without all the superhero/Avenger stuff hanging over their heads. You can keep this in the MUC universe or do a non-powered AU, but I’d love to see these two lock eyes at a bar/club and be pulled towards each other. I’d also love some Identity Porn thrown in here; maybe they meet and fuck and then the next day Sam meets Steve’s BFF Bucky.

ALL: Magical Healing Cock is a recognized medical procedure - This is too good to pass up in the MCU. Maybe Sam gets hit with a crazy curse from an evil wizard and though he’s fine right now he’s gonna drop dead in a few hours, and the only known cure is some good old super-soldier magical healing cock. And BUcky steps up to the plate, because he wants to help his buddy. Maybe he’s been in love with Sam for a while. OR maybe he hates Sam - or tells himself he does. They argue and fight, but when it comes down to it, he won’t let Sam die, and he agrees to ‘take one for the team.’ But once they get down to business, he enjoys it much more than he thought he would. And he can’t stop thinking about it.

ALL: Marriages Selected by Algorithm - I’m a big fan of soulmates, and I love this idea. I would imagine that the algorithm would be new to Bucky (if you keep it in an MCU universe), so he balks at the entire idea of marriage being determined this way, and then when it matches him to Sam - he’s like ‘wtf this is bullshit.’ And Sam doesn’t believe it either, but eventually they give it a chance. And then they fuck.



ALL: Model/Photographer AU - I could go either way with the roles here - Photographer!Sam blow away by Model!Bucky? Yes, please. Or maybe in a non-powered AU, quiet, serious photographer Bucky gets convinced by his buddy Steve to fill in on a modeling shoot where the photographer dropped out - even though Bucky hates models, because he thinks they’re all idiots. And in walks Sam, who blows away all of Buckys’ expectations.

ALL: Ritual Sex Required To Save The World - Maybe Sam and Bucky get pulled into a spell by Dr. Strange, and it all goes bad, and the only way to fix it is for these two to bone. Or maybe some bomb is gonna blow up somewhere if they don’t get some magical Bucky semen that has touched Sam’s magical asshole to disarm it. I’d love this sex to be after lots of mutual pining, or maybe they go into this thinking they hate each other, but during the sex feeeeelings come out.



ALL: Sex as a normal part of training - This could be part of the serum, or HYDRA training - assets usually have sex after ops to relieve the ‘tension,’ and now there’s just Bucky and Sam, on the run. Or it’s part of Avengers training, for whatever reason. Maybe Bucky is used to this from HYDRA. Maybe this is a brand new concept to him, and he’s like “whoa uh okay, let’s do it!” This would be a great FWB-to-lovers prompt.

ALL: Soulbonding is the only way to save seriously injured character's life, ALL: Soulmates - Bond Suddenly Activated If Someone Is Gravely Injured - I love soulmates/soul bonding, and these are great prompts for pining and angst. I could totally see one party desperate because the other is dying or dead, and they will do anything it takes to save them/bring them back. Then they do, soulbond included, and the guilt hits them, uncertainty, all that fun stuff. Then they work it out and fuck. :D



ALL: Soulmarks - appear after your soulmate gives you your first orgasm, All: Soulmates - You can’t tell who your soulmate is until you fuck them, ALL: Soulmates feel each other's pain and pleasure - I love soulmate tropes. If you’re writing a damaged Bucky, I would see him as not wanting a soulmate or thinking he’d ever deserve/get one. I could see Sam as wanting one, but not letting it drive his love life. I would love a fic where Sam/Bucky have some casual sex, and Oops we’re soulmates!

For feeling pain/pleasure - I think it’s interesting if you keep MCU Bucky here, because maybe he doesn’t feel pain as a supersoldier, and HYDRA didn’t let him feel pleasure. So Sam has never thought he had a soulmate because he never felt those things. But then Bucky ‘wakes up’ after CA:WS, and Sam is getting ALL the feels as Bucky rediscovers those things about himself. Bonus points if Sam and Bucky are together, maybe on the run, as this is all going on.



ALL: Strip Club AU - Yes to naked Sam and Bucky! I’d love Sam going into a strip club and there is Bucky, making all the eye contact. You could do an undercover AU, where Sam has to take it off on stage and Bucky is just floored by his moves. Just yes to stripping. And dancing. And then sexy times after.

ALL: Tattoo Parlor AU - I love shop AUs, and I love tattoo AUs, so let’s put them all together here! I usually picture this as a non-powered AU, where one side is an artist (I usually slide Bucky here), and the other is a client. I’d also be down for both of them being tattoo artists as well, working at the same shop.

Marvel Cinematic Universe

Clint Barton/Phil Coulson (MCinU) - My favorite pairing from the MCU, and the ship of my life at the moment. I do prefer the Matt Fraction Hawkeye, but I’d be fine with the MCU Clint, minus the family, lol. You could have Laura and the kids be Barney’s family, and I’m also fine with the farm existing. I also don’t care if Clint’s hair is blond or brown. Feel free to include Pizza Dog.

I really love the power dynamic here, the handler/asset relationship and how that affects their relationship. I love it when these two are competent in the field, and not so competent in their love lives. Mutual pining, UST that turns into RST, long lingering looks - that’s my jam with these two.



For art - I’d love sweet moments between these two. Clint sitting by Phil’s bedside, waiting for him to wake up after his injury in Avengers, maybe waiting for his soulmate to wake up after this prompt happened: ALL: Soulmates - Bond Suddenly Activated If Someone Is Gravely Injured. I’d love to see them hanging out in Phil’s room on the bus, or TattooArtist!Clint giving Phil new ink.

MCU: Clint is assigned to the Bus, MCU: Clint goes into the framework to rescue Phil - I haven’t read many fics where Clint is a part of the AoS crew - usually they have Cint still off Avenging, and not with Phil. Which I love, but I’d also like to see some of Clint’s dynamic with the AoS crew. I always dig reading about Clint’s reaction to Phil coming back from the dead, or him helping Phil find out how he came back. I also enjoy reading about May and Skye teasing Phil about his crush on Clint.

For the framework arc - I’d be down maybe with Clint coming back just to rescue Phil from it - or maybe Clint is a part of his crew. But really I want Phil’s main regret to be never telling Clint how he feels, and he rectifies that in the framework. And when Clint goes in to rescue him, he sees that, and feelings emerge…

MCU: Clint is stabbed in Avengers instead of Phil - This would be a neat little role reversal - maybe Phil gets taken over by Loki, and then Clint gets stabbed while trying to stop him. Then we have Phil pining by Clint’s side, trying to bring him back - wherever this bunny wants to take you, I wanna read it!

MCU: Clint recruits Phil into SHIELD - I’ve read a ton of recruitment fics where Phil recruits Clint, but I’d love to see it the other way around. I’d love to read a spin on Natasha’s recruitment story for Phil - that he’s the shot Clint didn’t take.

MCU: Handler's Right: Coulson Gets To Fuck Clint In Every Safehouse - I can’t really give you more of a prompt for this than porn.

MCU: Soulmates Decided by Goose the Angry Flerken - This is just so ridiculous, I want it so bad. I could see Clint as being like “okay, well, cool I guess” and Phil is like “wtf? No,” at the idea of a Flerken making that call. But then the Flerken says Clint is meant to be with Phil, and Phil’s like, “Well maybe there’s something to this after all…”

ALL: A/B/O - Elaborate courtship rituals - I really love the courting aspect of A/B/O, and I’d love to see it with Clint and Phil. I could see Phil as a traditionalist, wanting to court Clint, or Clint wanting to do things ‘right’ with Phil. You could also mix in some Identity Porn here, where maybe one of them is an Alpha pretending to be an Omega, and the other Omega part of the ship never went after them before because they didn’t think it could work. Then the truth comes out, and they start with the leaving gifts/feeding them/defending their honor in the SHIELD paintball competition, whatever you wanna come up with for courtship in this universe.

ALL: Animal Shelter AU - I’m all about these two adopting pets! I’d love to see a take on how Clint got Lucky, or even an AU with Clint running an animal shelter and Phil comes in looking for a pet.

I mean, come on! Look at them!


ALL: BDSM AU - Saving an Abused Sub - I’m not picky about who is the sub here - Clint or Phil would be fine. I love hurt/comfort, and this is a great prompt for it!

ALL: Character enters alternate dimension in which life is a porn movie - lmao, this prompt is too good to leave off the list. I imagine Clint would be super into at first, but then the novelty would wear off.

ALL: Character Saved From Death via Emergency Vampire Transformation - Yesss! Give me that vampire AU! These pictures specifically speak to me for these characters with this prompt: Older Vampire Leader Phil and Newly-Turned-Vamp Clint.



ALL: Characters have past agreement to get married if both are still single at age 30 - I could easily see these two characters agreeing to this. You could push it to “40” since Phil is older, or just make it an AU w/o much of an age gap. Both of them could be drunk or joking, saying they wouldn’t even still be alive at 30 or 40. But then Clint turns 40, and he shows up at Phil’s door, ready to collect…

ALL: Characters having to survive in the wilderness after catastrophe - This is ripe with so many other tropes - hurt/comfort, huddling for warmth, competency kink. I’d love to read about these two badasses taking care of each other in the forest as they wait for rescue (or rescue themselves), forced to share a sleeping bag, anything like that.

ALL: Characters initially meet at kink or sex club, ALL: First time they meet is in a gay bar instead - I’d love to see these two meet outside of SHIELD. You could make this a non-SHIELD AU, or keep it in SHIELD but add some identity porn - they meet and sleep together without knowing the other is also with SHIELD. If you go the kink/BDSM club route, I don’t care what kinks they are into (as long as they are not in my DNW) or who is a dom or a sub or tops or bottoms or whatever.

ALL: Characters share a pain bond - This would be an interesting dynamic - maybe there’s a spell they get hit with and they share pain - could be both physical and emotional if you want. How would this draw them together? How would they use it in the field? And in the bedroom? :D

ALL: Escort Service AU - I’d enjoy reading about either Clint or Phil as an escort - maybe Clint desperately needs a classy date for his ex’s wedding, and Nick has a service for that. Or Phil is lonely and runs into Clint at a bar, and he can’t help but take him up on his offer for a ‘good time.’ I will remove the “Daddy Kink” DNW in this scenario, especially if it this involves Clint calling Phil ‘Daddy,’ and Phil didn’t know until that moment how much he wanted to be called that.

ALL: Hockey Rivalry - I enjoy watching hockey, but I’m not super into it (meaning I don’t know most of the rules or have a certain team I follow). I do enjoy sports AUs in general, and I’d love to read about a rivalry between Phil & Clint - maybe Phil as the grizzled veteran and Clint is the fresh-faced rookie looking to make a name for himself. Or they could be on opposing teams, and words and fists fly on the ice… and then sparks fly at the after-party.

All: Identity Porn - I dig ID Porn, be it not knowing they are in SHIELD or not knowing Clint is Hawkeye or Ronin, if you want to go that route. You could mix this up with any other prompts and I’d be thrilled.

ALL: Magical Healing Cock is a recognized medical procedure - Just - look at this prompt. LOOK AT IT. Phil gets sick. Cursed. Whatever. The only thing that can heal him is some healing archer cock. IS THERE AN ARCHER IN THE BUILDING??

ALL: Marriages Selected by Algorithm - I enjoy soulmate fics, and this hits in that same area - maybe once people are single by a certain age, they get matched up via the algorithm - and Phil has never come up with a match. Which he’s fine with, FINE, he’s married to his work anyway. But then Clint hits 30 or whatever, and submits his data, and BAM - there’s a match.

ALL: Mass Effect setting - I’m a big ME fan. I’d dig Commander Coulson, with the fate of the world on his shoulders, and Lieutenant Barton is assigned to the Normandy - and we take our story from there.

All: Massage Therapist AU - I love massages that turn sexy. LOVE THEM. I’d dig Masseuse Clint with new client Phil. Or Phil knows how to get the knots out, or he’s taking some night massage classes to get his license, and he tests his skills out on Phil. Or combine this with Escort AU, and Clint goes to a massage parlor known for ‘happy endings,’ and Phil is his masseuse.

ALL: Model/Photographer AU - I could go either way with the roles here - Photographer!Clint blown away by Model!Phil? Yes, please. I could easily see Phil getting dragged into doing a shoot for SHIELD for publicity reasons, and Clint is the photographer, and he gets Phil really, really comfortable.

Or maybe in a non-powered AU, Phil is a serious photographer/documentor of like, old shit and antiques - he doesn’t really do live action shoots. But his BFF Nick needs a photographer for a photo shoot for his business (maybe he runs a kink club? I’d be down with him running a kink club) because the scheduled one dropped out - and it’s a modeling shoot. Phil is like “No, models are idiots and I have no time to spend on that foolishness” but Nick asks him real nice and Phil finally agrees and then in walks Clint, modeling BDSM gear and props (or we could do some nice suit porn, if Nick runs like a fashion empire or something). And Phil’s heart is like beating out of his chest, but he covers well and does the shoot but there’s serious eye fucking and long looks and then maybe Clint stays after for some extra shoots and then they fuck.

ALL: Ritual Sex Required To Save The World - Can’t go wrong with fuck or die. The UST boils over when Phil and Clint volunteer to take one for the team - but they’re just doing what they’ve been wanting to do for years. AND they get to save the world while they do it!

All: Secret Agents AU but Identity is Continually Blown Due to a Recognizable Butt - lmao. If anyone writes me this prompt I’ll donate $30 to your favorite charity.

ALL: Sex as a normal part of training - Yes, plz. This could be part of the routine come-down from intense missions, where handlers and agents fuck - and instead of perfunctory, emotions get involved. Maybe Clint starts visiting Phil in his office after-hours… for ‘extra credit.’ Idk lmao, go where this prompt takes you; I bet I’ll love it.

All: She's All That AU - OK! I admit, this tag with this pair is… questionable. I would remove the ‘Underage’ DNW for this if you wanna write a high school AU (which I would SO be here for) where arrogant Student Council President/Lacrosse Team Captain Phil bets he can turn loser Clint Barton into Prom King, and falls in love with him along the way. OR you could keep this in SHIELD, and do a really loose AU - where maybe everyone sees Phil as a competent agent, but a bit of a nerdy loser. And Clint makes a bet - on what I’m not sure (is there a SHIELD prom king? That he can get Phil laid?), but he falls for Phil while he makes him over. If you DO this prompt, I just really want that scene of one of them yelling, “Am I a bet? Am I a fucking bet?!?” and then stomping off.

ALL: Soulbonding To Avoid Being Forcibly Bonded To Someone Else, ALL: Resurrection Is Possible But Creates a Soul Bond, ALL: Soulbonding is the only way to save seriously injured character's life - I love soul bonds/soulmates, and these prompts are so ripe with delicious angst. I can see one pair pining for the other, and then when one dies (or almost does), and the other makes the decision to save their life, no matter what, and then they come back - with a soul bond to show for it. The guilt from both sides, thinking the other didn’t want this, it’s delicious.

ALL: Soulmarks - appear after your soulmate gives you your first orgasm, All: Soulmates - You can’t tell who your soulmate is until you fuck them - I love this twist on this trope. Especially if one of them doesn’t want a soulmate, or has always said they don’t (I usually picture Clint here, but Phil would be fine as well), and maybe they get drunk and have some casual sex - that turns out to be not-so-casual when their marks appear.

ALL: Soulmates - Bond Suddenly Activated If Someone Is Gravely Injured - This would be amazing with Phil’s injury in Avengers - maybe the strength of it activating can be what helps Phil pull through.

ALL: Soulmates - Scars appear on each other's skin, ALL: Soulmates exist but are rare, ALL: Soulmates feel each other's pain and pleasure - The scars prompt would also be great with Phil’s injury in Avengers. I could totally see these two brushing off random scars that pop up, until this one, which cannot be overlooked.

ALL: Strip Club AU - Yessssssssss! Stripper!Clint is the obvious one here, but I bet Phil has some moves too. I’d be down for undercover mission stripping shenanigans, or Phil walking into a strip club after another lonely week and he looks up and locks eyes with Clint. And then he gets invited backstage…

ALL: Stuck on a Lighthouse Together - Why are they in the lighthouse? Why can’t they leave? What happens while they’re stuck there? Maybe some talking? And kissing?

ALL: Tattoo Parlor AU - I usually picture tattoo artists Clint here, but it would be cool to have Phil in that role. Maybe Phil goes in to get tattoos to commemorate tough missions, or maybe Phil lost a bet to Fury and he has to get Captain America’s shield tattooed on his ass - and Clint is more than happy to take that job. :D

Shadowhunters (TV)

Simon Lewis/Jace Wayland (Shadowhunters) - BANTER BETWEEN GROWLY ONE AND SMILEY ONE. These two have wicked chemistry, and their interactions on the show were always a source of fun. I think Simon’s sunny demeanor could help bring Jace out of that dark place he likes to spend so much time in. I also love Jace falling for Simon, and being so unnerved by it - that he likes such a dork.



I’m fine with an AU where everyone is human, if Simon and Jace are vampires, or both are shadowhunters - basically no big preference on how you tackle how they fit into the Shadowhunter world (or even if there is a Shadowhunter world). It would be pretty cool to see an AU where Simon comes in as a Shadowhunter - especially for the Magic Powers Boosted by Sex prompt.

I’d love art of Shadowhunter!Simon, and Jace by his side. Or maybe the two of them meeting for the first time at a bar, or images of their IG accounts if they are rival social media influencers would be amazing. Or Photographer!Simon taking pictures of Model!Jace, who keeps losing more and more clothing…

All: Bodyguard AU - This could work as being in Shadowhunters universe - maybe Simon is his human self, but needs protection for reasons, and Jace gets assigned bodyguard duty. OR maybe Jace loses his Shadowhunter powers, and vampire Simon gets assigned bodyguard duty, and they both hate it. Or you could go total human AU, where Simon is a famous musician, and he hires some security to protect him from a crazy fan - and along comes Jace.

ALL: Characters are rival social media influencers - This is just too good to pass up. Maybe they’re both YouTubers, maybe both for music or Simon for music and Jace for something else, and their paths cross at a YT con, or maybe fans push them together for reasons. I would see them constantly trying to one-up each other, and maybe they finally meet and the sparks fly.

ALL: First time they meet is in a gay bar instead, ALL: Characters initially meet at kink or sex club, ALL: Different First Meeting - Mistaken for a Hooker and Goes With It, ALL: Escort Service AU - I put these two together, because they would work so well, but they can of course be prompted on their own. I’d love to see these two meet on more equal footing than they did in canon, just as two guys sizing each other up and following that chemistry.

For mistaken for a hooker - I do lean towards Simon mistaking Jace for one, and I can completely see Jace going for it. A hot guy and he gets paid? Why not?? But then feelings enter the picture…

ALL: Magic Powers Boosted By Sex - This prompt is so tantalizing for this pair! Maybe there’s a rune that will give you awesome amazing super strength, but the drawback is you gotta charge it up with some sex first. And everyone really needs that strength for whatever evil they gotta go vanquish, and Alec has Magnus, and you can put Clary and Izzy together for this, and Jace is looking for a partner… and Simon volunteers. :D

ALL: Magical Healing Cock is a recognized medical procedure - This has seelie magic written all over it. They curse Simon and Jace and the only thing that can fix it is some shadowhunter sex. Or vampire sex, whatever floats your boat.

ALL: Marriages Selected by Algorithm - I enjoy this kind of AU, where partners are paired up based on compatibility or whatnot. I would love to see everyone’s shock when Jace and Simon get paired up.

ALL: Model/Photographer AU - Of course I immediately think of Jace as the arrogant model here, and Simon the suffering photographer who thinks most models are idiots. He and Jace clash immediately, but there’s an attraction that lasts long after the shoot is finished.

ALL: Ritual Sex Required To Save The World - This could be a seelie spell again, or just regular Shadowhunter shenanigans. Fuck or everyone dies! Whatever shall they do…

ALL: Sex as a normal part of training - This would be an interesting part of Shadowhunter training, lol. Maybe an AU where Simon is a Shadowhunter, and he gets introduced to this part of his ‘training regime.’ It could be necessary after using runes, and it’s just another part of the mission… until it isn’t?



ALL: Soulbonding is the only way to save seriously injured character's life - I love soul bonds/soulmates, and these prompts are so ripe with delicious angst. I can see one pair pining for the other, and then when one dies (or almost does), and the other makes the decision to save their life, no matter what, and then they come back - with a soul bond to show for it. The guilt from both sides, thinking the other didn’t want this, it’s delicious. I like the idea that maybe one side didn’t even know how much the other meant to them until they were about it die - and the decision to do the soul bond was no decision at all. Cue all the awkwardness when they wake up.



ALL: Soulmarks - appear after your soulmate gives you your first orgasm, All: Soulmates - You can’t tell who your soulmate is until you fuck them - This would go along great with a different first meeting AU - maybe they meet at a gay bar, have some casual sex, and boom, soulmates! Or maybe Jace never wanted a soulmate, but he and Simon get drunk and things happen - and the marks appear, and they have to deal with the consequences.

ALL: Soulmates - Bond Suddenly Activated If Someone Is Gravely Injured, ALL: Soulmates - Scars appear on each other's skin, ALL: Soulmates feel each other's pain and pleasure, ALL: Characters share a pain bond - I really like the idea of how the scars and pain works with the runes that Shadowhunters wear. Maybe there is a rune that suppresses soulmate connections, and Jace gets it b/c he doesn’t want a soulmate. So Simon’s never had a scar, or felt any of those other emotions, so he doesn’t think he has a soulmate, and then he becomes a vampire and can’t scar anyway - so many ways to work with this! And for the grave injury, I love that revelation being dropped on one of them as a result of the other being seriously hurt, and the feelings that come from that.

ALL: Tattoo Parlor AU - I could easily see either party being the tattoo artist or the customer. If Jace is an artist, Simon would make a great nervous customer that is either very nervous about his first tattoo, or falling for Jace and is too nervous to ask him out, so he just keeps getting more tattoos instead. Or maybe they could both be artists, working in the same shop.

The Magicians

Fandom specific DNW: - Eliot/Charlton

Margo Hanson/Alice Quinn - These two were teased at the start of the series, and then nothing ever came of it. I’d love an AU where Margo and Alice had time to bond, be it at Brakebills or in a non-magical AU. I love how strong and brassy these two are, and how Alice’s innocent demeanor clashes with Margo’s boldness. These are two strong women that stand up for what they think is right, and I could see some juicy arguments and sparks flying between them.



Kady Orloff-Diaz/Julia Wicker (Magicians-TV) - Kady and Julia had so much potential - they are great friends, and I think they’d make great lovers too. I would love an AU where Kady and Julia meet as hedge witches, with no BB at all, or a S5 AU where Kady wants to help Julia raise Hope. The ladies of TM are badass and get shit done, and these two are two of the strongest. They both have demons to overcome, and I’d love to read about them helping each other move past them. Kady’s drug/alcohol addiction, specifically, is something I’d like to see addressed and have Julia help her through.



All of the ladies of TM have gone through horrific things, and I’d be fine if you kept those encounters in their past, and wrote fic dealing with them helping each other move on - like Kady helping Julia through the trauma of her pregnancy after her abortion a few years prior, or Margo and Alice bonding over their horrible mothers, in an AU setting.

I would enjoy some kind of an AU where Margo deals with Alice niffin’ing out - maybe where everyone is a Hedge Witch, or maybe Alice gets a boost in her power by sex with Margo, and Margo begs Alice not to cast the spell to call/stop her brother. I would also enjoy an AU where Alice niffins out after killing the Beast - and Margo brings her back via a soulbond (IE Soulbonding is the only way to save seriously injured character's life.)

I am a big Queliot fan, so please feel free to include Quentin and Eliot together on the side!

For artwork, I’d love anything showing these ladies in love, or doing magic together, in a shop for a shop AU. Any of them adopting animals would be amazing,or getting magical tattoos.

The Magicians (TV): Everyone is a Hedge Witch - I would love to read about these ladies meeting outside of BB. Maybe Margo said “Fuck Brakebills,” and went straight to the Hedge Witch scene. I could see her in a competition with Alice about who can get stars the fastest. I’d also enjoy seeing Alice not bother trying to get into Brakebills, since they didn’t invite her in the first place - she goes to the hedge scene instead.

Julia and Kady slide in this universe very easily, especially if you have them finding each other after Kady gets kicked out, like in canon - but maybe things take a more romantic turn as they work together to summon Persephone (I’d also love an AU where that summoning goes in a happier direction, btw).



ALL: Animal Shelter AU - Please give me all the animals that do not die a grisly death, thank you! I’d love to see Alice adopting a cat (that doesn’t explode) or a horse - maybe Margo and Alice are living it up as Queens in Fillory, and Margo brings home a unicorn she rescued in the forest (Fillorian animal shelter, anyone? When the animals talk, they can choose their own owner.)

I would love to see an AU where Kady and Julia are living happy lives in NYC, and one day Kady arrives with a box full of kittens in her arms. “Someone just left them there! They were all gonna die!” Or maybe they adopt more exotic animals, like snakes and reptiles. I’d also love a Fillorian AU, where either they live at Whitespire or somewhere in Fillory, running an animal retreat or shelter or whatnot. Or just adopting from the local Fillorian rescue.

ALL: Characters initially meet at kink or sex club - I would love to see these characters meet without the weight of all the magical world on their shoulders. Maybe Alice is a first-timer at the kink club, and she catches Margo’s eyes immediately. Same for Julia catching Kady’s eye - or maybe Julia is the experienced one between the two. Either way, it could make for some very hot alternate meetings.

All: Bodyguard AU- I kind of love the idea of Kady being Julia’s bodyguard. Maybe in an all-Fillorian AU, Queen Julia selects Warrior Kady as the head of her guard - and love flows from there. I would also love Alice taking on a bodyguard role for Margo - at first Margo sniffs at her, thinking Alice is too waify to protect her from shit, but when King Margo is attacked, Alice takes out the assailants with ease. And I bet that display of skill would turn Margo on like nothing else…

ALL: Coffee Shop AU, ALL: Co-owners of a shop AU, ALL: Flower Shop AU, ALL: Library AU, ALL: Tattoo Parlor AU - I love shop AUs in general, and I especially love a shop AU with a magical twist. Magical coffee enchanted to put you in a better mood? Magical flowers with healing properties? Magical tattoos that let you hold your breath or give you night vision? Yes, please!

I’d love to see Margo or Kady as a cranky customer, and Alice or Julia knowing exactly how to deal with them. A library AU would be great with Alice/Margo, with Alice as the know-it-all librarian (mundane library OR Neitherlands library, whichever floats your boat!), and Margo as the bitchy customer that needs this one damn book for this one fucking class. Maybe Margo is a total bitch to Alice, and makes it up to her later.



All: dating a single parent AU - I mainly see this prompt for Julia/Kady, and I’d love a story with Kady helping Julia raise Hope, and falling in love with her in the process. However, I could also totally see it for Alice and Margo - maybe Margo encounters Alice, is charmed by her, but sees she has a kid, and Margo does not date people with children. But she can’t get Alice off her mind, and maybe the kid is a bit of a charmer too.



ALL: Magic Powers Boosted By Sex, All: Mindblowing Sex Awakens Magic Powers, ALL: Ritual Sex Required To Save The World, ALL: Sex as a normal part of training - All of these prompts could fit right into the world of Brakebills. I could see Sex Magic as a discipline, used to help heal disease or create enough power to do huge spells (like making portals, anyone? I think Fillorian royalty might need that one…). Fuck or die in order to prevent catastrophe would be a great one, and magic powers being boosted by orgasms - frankly I’m shocked the show (which has sphincter magic as canon) didn’t have that in there. So many ways you can coerce these couples to have sexy times, and have it be ‘for the good of Fillory.’ (Or Earth, whatever!)

ALL: Marriages Selected by Algorithm - Maybe the magical universe has spells that select perfect partners, or maybe go non-magical AU and have it be math or something. I love pining in this case - maybe one party has been longing for the other, or both parties are, but keeping it quiet. In any case, I would see Margo as completely balking at any kind of monogamy - but she can’t help falling for Alice. I can also see both Julia and Kady rolling their eyes at this kind of spell, but can’t argue with the results.

ALL: Soulbonding is the only way to save seriously injured character's life - I love this prompt so much. For Margo/Alice, this would be amazing to do when Alice niffins out after killing the Beast - and Margo brings her back via a soulbond. Or maybe in that horrible time in S3, when Kady takes the pills and Julia brings her back, Julia has to bring her back via a soulbond - which Kady is really pissed at her for. The angst potential here is huge!



ALL: Soulmarks - appear after your soulmate gives you your first orgasm, All: Soulmates - You can’t tell who your soulmate is until you fuck them - This prompt fits right in with the two meeting at a bar instead of at BB, but could also be used in a somewhat canon setting. I could see each pair getting drunk and having casual sex, only to wake up to a soulmate after!

ALL: Soulmates feel each other's pain and pleasure - Maybe Margo or Kady has put some kind of a block on herself, because she decides she doesn’t want a soulmate, so she makes it so she never feels anything from her soulmate, and they don’t feel anything from her. So Julia or Alice go through life thinking they have no soulmate, because they never feel anything - but find out a potential partner that they like a lot has a block. And maybe they ask their potential to remove the block… or maybe the partner removes it on their own, because they just need to know…

ALL: Witcher AU - I really love this idea with the TM ladies. There doesn’t have to be a ‘witcher’ equivalent (though you’re certainly welcome to write it that way), but I love taking the mage universe in the Witcher and putting the TM ladies in it. I could see Margo as a Yennefer parallel, or you could do Kady as a female!Witcher, and Julia as the mage that helps her out. So many options!

Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh - This is a major OTP for me, the pair that inspired me to first write fic. I hold them close to my heart, and will never get tired of reading of their hapless pining and drama. The angst and payoff potential is so high here, with Quentin dying (I’m HERE for all the fix-its), and the mosaic timeline - just so much to play with. I love their chemistry, Q’s awkwardness and how much Eliot adores it, Eliot’s insecurity and how Quentin soothes it, the tall vs. small, and how they want to be the best they can be for each other. I would love any fic written about these two - getting together, established relationship, whatever.



The Magicians (TV): Everyone is a Hedge Witch - I really love this perspective - maybe Quentin gets kicked out of BB, or he never gets invited, but his magical ability is innate - and catches Eliot’s attention. I’d read novels about their coven, and I’d love to see Quentin get confident in his magical abilities in a more supporting environment than BB had to offer.

ALL: Animal Shelter AU - I’d love a fic about the Fillorian animal rescue, or a non-magical animal rescue where Quentin and Eliot meet. Or maybe they’re married, years after all the show’s drama (and after Q came back to life), and they adopt a pet together.



ALL: Artist/Model AU - I could go either way for who is the model and who is the artist here. I could see painting, drawing, sculpting, any medium as well, and you could make it MaGiCaL if you want. You could have student Quentin working on his final for advanced magical painting, and in comes Eliot as a nude model. Or Eliot is taking a few sculpting classes in undergrad, and the model is this cute dork with the most brilliant smile.

ALL: Characters have past agreement to get married if both are still single at age 30 - I could totally see this happening in canon. Actually, you could combine this with a few prompts - maybe the show happens as is, except the boys make this agreement one night in first year when they’re drunk, and then Quentin dies. Eliot brings him back, either by ALL: Character Journeys To The Underworld to Rescue Their Dead Lover or ALL: Resurrection Is Possible But Creates a Soul Bond, and he tells Quentin, “We had a deal. I get you when you turn 30, and dammit you’re not dying before then.” So maybe then they move the deal up a few years. :D

ALL: Characters initially meet at kink or sex club, ALL: First time they meet is in a gay bar instead - I’d love to see these two meet without all the stress of Brakebills and magic and Fillory over their heads. I could see an instant attraction, maybe Eliot convinces Quentin to dance, and it goes from there. You could combine this with other prompts as well, like ALL: Soulmarks - appear after your soulmate gives you your first orgasm, All: Soulmates - You can’t tell who your soulmate is until you fuck them or The Magicians (TV): Everyone is a Hedge Witch if they maybe meet at a hedge bar.

ALL: A/B/O - Elaborate courtship rituals - Part of what I enjoy about A/B/O is the courting part. I’d love to see a magical take on this, with Eliot courting Quentin and Quentin’s head just getting spun around because it’s Eliot, of all people, courting him. You could also take this AU anywhere else, non-magical, or maybe they meet first in a gay bar, and Quentin takes a chance at courting Eliot - and he’s into it.



ALL: Character Journeys To The Underworld to Rescue Their Dead Lover - This has been done, I know, but I would love to read Eliot going to drag Quentin up from the Underworld. Maybe he makes a deal with Hades - one soul for another? Maybe Julia goes along for the ride? Give me all the fix-its, please!

ALL: Different First Meeting - Mistaken for a Hooker and Goes With It - I could absolutely see Quentin nervously approaching Eliot, thinking he’s a hooker, and Eliot going with it. A cute boy, he gets laid, and he gets paid? What’s he supposed to do, say no?!

ALL: Escort Service AU - This could be very hot in any AU, but maybe Eliot needs the ‘right’ type of date to a Fillorian event, or Quentin just cannot go to Alice’s wedding alone. And Margo or Julia knows a service for that, but when Quentin and Eliot meet, money is the last thing on their minds.



ALL: In-universe coffeeshop AU, ALL: Library AU, ALL: Tattoo Parlor AU - I love shop AUs in general, and I especially love a shop AU with a magical twist. Magical coffee enchanted to put you in a better mood? Magical flowers with healing properties? Magical tattoos that let you hold your breath or give you night vision? Yes, please!

ALL: Resurrection Is Possible But Creates a Soul Bond, ALL: Soulbonding is the only way to save seriously injured character's life - I would love this twist on 4.13, with Eliot using this method to bring Quentin back. Or you could set this fic in another timeline - maybe timeline 1, where Eliot dies, and after Jane starts creating more timelines, Quentin decides to take things into his own hands, and bring Eliot back.



ALL: Sex as a normal part of training - This prompt could fit right into the world of Brakebills. I could see Sex Magic as a discipline, used to help heal disease or create enough power to do huge spells (like making portals, anyone? I think Fillorian royalty might need that one…). Maybe there’s a sex seminar at Brakebills, and Quentin signs up, and gets partnered with senior Eliot.. Who is more than ready to show Quentin everything he knows.

ALL: Soulmarks - appear after your soulmate gives you your first orgasm, All: Soulmates - You can’t tell who your soulmate is until you fuck them - This would go great with first meeting at a gay bar, or even in canon - maybe that threesome generates some soulmarks after, and they have to deal with that on top of the Beast. Or maybe it doesn’t generate until the mosaic timeline, and they come back to the original timeline with marks, but no memories - until they look at the marks.



ALL: Magical Healing Cock is a recognized medical procedure - Again, this would fit right in with canon. Maybe a fairy curse, or some crazy magical spell, where the only cure is Quentin’s dick.

All: Mindblowing Sex Awakens Magic Powers - I would love to see this in a “everyone’s a Hedge Witch AU” - maybe Quentin and Eliot hook up, and after amazing sex, Quentin makes magic happen. And Eliot smirks, and brings Quentin home to meet his coven.
