The Girl in Lovers Lane
The Trollenberg Terror
Truth Seekers
Ghosts BBC
The Tick

I love all these fandoms, so please don't think I prefer one over another. Sometimes I just have more ideas for some and not others. 

Things I love:

• Friendship, found families, loyalty, love, deep emotional connections, devotion, displays of affection and respect
• Third person POV
• Missing scenes and fix-its, as well as case-fic and plotty stories
• Protectiveness and characters sacrificing their own comforts to help others
• Mutual pining with a happy ending, unrequited love finally realized
• Hurt/comfort, especially things like one comforting another after a nightmare, tending wounds, caring for them when they're ill or injured, hovering after something traumatic and trying to take their mind off things
• Tropes like oh my god there's only one bed and every other possible bedsharing scenario, fake couple/marriage for whatever reasons to real romance, forced proximity and bonus if there’s peril
• First kiss, first realization of feelings
• Humor, snark and banter, laughing and joking with each other
• Flirting/pining/UST, and getting together fic (I do like established relationship in shorter <500 or even <1000 word stories or any length when the couple is canon)
• Happy or at least hopeful endings
• Porn with feelings and emotional or romantic sex
• Possessiveness and a little jealousy
• First times
• Dubcon in some fandoms/pairings
• Desperate kisses and one or both partners overwhelmed with passion and feelings
• Manhandling and displays of strength, up against the wall sex
• Kneeling (any reason but especially for oral sex or to kiss knees or thighs or anything like that, grand)
• Penetrative sex, oral sex, fingers, frottage, mutual masturbation or one watching the other
• Naked and half-naked or one clothed and the other naked, basically any combo of clothed/not clothed
• Necking, petting, face and neck and body stroking, kissing and/or sucking or licking pretty much anywhere
• I really like up against the wall, taken from behind, and one riding the other, but any positions are fine
• Thank god you're/we're alive sex
• One character being suddenly so overcome with feeling and desire for the other they kiss them and initiate things out of the blue, like they can't wait another second--love those big music swell moments
• Light hair-pulling or ass-slapping when appropriate in the heat of the moment
• With appropriate pairings, like vampires, blood drinking and/or licking blood off the other’s mouth, face, neck, etc. can’t go wrong
• I like stories with no sex, fade-to-black, or full-on smut, so write whatever level you prefer. You can also split the difference and focus more on the emotions than a blow-by-blow what's going where sort of story if you want. 

DNWs:

• Anything pandemic-related including references to it, anything political including references and people's names (unless in a historic context, like George Washington)
• AU (setting, A/B/O, genderswapping, etc.) but minor canon divergence to get non-canon couples together or see what happens if they go left instead of right are fine 
• Unhappy and otherwise bleak endings
• First and second person POV except in epistolary/journal format, original or unrequested character's outsider POV
• Kidfic and pregnancy-related fic, including mpreg
• Unrequested gender identity or sexuality headcanons, a focus on gender identity or sexuality, teach-me-a-lesson fic
• Surprise serious illness, character death, as well as cruelty to animals/animal death, infidelity, partner betrayal
• Holiday stories, unrequested crack/parodies, unrequested crossovers
• Unconventional capitalization and punctuation (I have poor eyesight, please have mercy)
• Non-con, underage
• Oviposition, eggs, sex to cause pregnancy or mpreg, feeding to cause weight gain, inflations, dehumanization and extreme objectification, body horror-related sex
• Sex toys, BDSM, fisting, insertions and things like pain, torture, spitting, choking and hitting (more than a playful slap)
• Enemas. Urine-related kinks.
• Characters calling each other daddy, baby boy/girl, slut, bitch, whore mommy or similar during sex, and generic dirty talk, daddy and mommy kinks in general
• A focus on bodily fluids or excretions except sweat, tears and where mentioned, blood; come play or eating (swallowing after oral sex is fine!)

To clarify on the surprise serious illness, things like referencing canon trauma is fine but someone having a stroke or a life-threatening non-canon disease is a big no. Injuries are different. A character could get shot in something like a hurt/comfort or casefic scenario, things like broken bones, wounds (physical and mental) and even more minor injuries are fine as long as they'll heal.

Yonderland
Debbie & Elf & Negatus, Demon Neil and Demon Jeff and Demon Rita and Negatus, Debbie and the Elders, Elder Vex/Elder Ho-Tan

I love Negatus' softer, redeemable side, and how dumb and sweet the demons can be. Jeff's my favorite demon. I also love Wise Elder Vex (Deb-beh!), and trans Scribe Elder Ho-Tan and their briefly granted wish that no one mocked to physically be a woman, and how accepting everyone is of everything LGBTQ from the start. 

 

Any moment with Debbie (and Elf if you want to include him) where Negatus is working hard to be evil and has a change of heart, with or without the help of the demons, would be great. Debbie as the voice of reason among the Elders, or any moment between Ho-Tan and Vex would be as welcome.

 

• Negatus rescuing Debbie from Imperatrix or some other threat, or simply being kind (even as he gripes about it and is uncomfortable with these new feeeeeelings). 
• I don't ship Negatus/Debbie exactly, but I do like him having some one-sided pining and/or her seeing and appreciating his better nature, which makes him happy. 
• Maybe Negatus has Debbie prisoner but agrees to let her go if she can solve some sort of puzzle, she picks Sudoku, he becomes fascinated and starts solving with her. Them bonding over basically anything.
• Any hijinks with the demons and Negatus would be great. A moment of Negatus enjoying their company, praising them, playing a board game with them where the object is to cheat the most, I don't care. Jeff getting to kiss Neil like he offered, Rita warming to Neil's crush, Negatus warming to Rita's crush, or just friendship (or fighting!). 
• I think Negatus acting as a counselor and listening while two or three demons vent about an interpersonal conflict and him being earnest about helping but giving terrible advice (Perhaps you should stab him?) could be hilarious. 
• Debbie having to referee for a big argument with the Elders would be great, too. Doesn’t matter if it’s over the fate of all of Yonderland, how to make a proper apology for wanting to eat Trevor, or how they can manage to keep Vice-Elder Flowers clothed (and should they even bother?). Anything with at least a couple of the Elders and Debbie works for me. 
• Does Ho-Tan get jealous of the woman flirting with Vex at Debbie's Christmas party and so try to make their feelings clear afterward? Does Vex get a little jealous of someone who's warming up to Ho-Tan? I'd love to see some flirting and feelings realization, or alternately them being super close friends, sweetly flirty, and as goofy as they always are. 
• Any situation where Vex tells or expresses to Ho-Tan what a beautiful woman they are in their special Vex way (especially after Ho-Tan has reverted post-wish and is disappointed) can never go wrong. 

 

Please feel free to include any characters you want to, even the sketch characters that only appeared briefly once or twice. I’m particularly fond of the Monks of Old John, the Ben Willbond character who kept kissing his cousin (I wanted the cousin to be won over, haha), and Wizard Bradley.

 

Please don’t go above PG-13ish story for any characters in this fandom. Anything in the silly, fun tone of the show would be great! 

Los Espookys
Renaldo/Andrés, Renaldo & Andrés & Úrsula & Tati ,Renaldo & Andrés & Úrsula

Feel free to include any un-nominated characters you want as long as the focus is on the core two to four. I love the whole thing.

• The three of them are hired to create a haunt and discover something actually spooky going on. They can be scared and try to sort things out or run, or maybe they see it as some kind of a challenge and try to out-haunt the real ghosts. I can see Renaldo, especially, feel like it's a point of pride to hang in there and do the better, creepier job.
• Maybe an actual ghost or demon they uncover helps them make a situation scarier and becomes a sort of sidekick all the while dropping hints and threats that it's going to get them when it's over, but of course that doesn't happen and it's humorous instead of scary.  A third-rate demon or something incapable of any really harm but with good horror tips.
• Anything involving Andrés' parasitic demon. Maybe it wants more than TV entertainment and lets the others in on what he needs to do to satisfy it so they can help. The stupider, the better.
• Anything to do with some power Andrés actually has could be fun. The sillier the power and the goofier its purpose, the better. Maybe he can predict who's going to hook up with whom and seem all wise to his friends with his predictions. Maybe he gets insight into how Father Antonio's lips look so glossy and it's a ridiculous sequence of events no one would guess, or he's addicted to flavored sparkly lips gloss you roll on with the ball and it's a secret shame.
• Úrsula dating someone and he can see they're not really human or possessed or just a total shit so they have to break that up could be fun, too.
• The neighbor girl who wanted to sleep with Renaldo who ended up sleeping with Úrsula instead was fantastic. Another scenario where someone's pursuing Renaldo to end up with her would be great.
• I love Renaldo and Andrés as best friends who are happiest together, and I also ship them. I like the idea of them realizing they're at their happiest when together. Really any story that has them all being best pals, everything to each other, and protecting each other from their worse instincts would be great.
• If you ship them, Renaldo can stay asexual and the relationship can be intimate emotionally, or Andrés can be the only one that sparks interest in him, surprising him more than anybody else.

Anything in the tone of the show would be great!

Wellington Paranormal
Officer O'Leary & Officer Kyle Minogue & Sergeant Maaka, Officer O'Leary & Officer Kyle Minogue 

Any kind of paranormal case or everyday interactions between Minogue and O'Leary, or Minogue, O'Leary and Sergeant Maaka would be great. (And feel free to toss Constable Parker, Minogue's brother or O'Leary's mother, or any other characters, if you wish!) 

I love their friendship and how hell can break loose but their reaction is to explain the situation calmly and say "we'd better do something about that, hadn't we?" 

Wellington Paranormal-specific DNW: Please don't make O'Leary being gay a point of pain or comedy in the story, like O'Leary talking about someone she likes and Minogue thinking maybe it's him, finally getting it and being disappointed.  

• After exposure to some paranormal creature Minogue starts to grow a tail or horns some other bizarre thing. I can picture him trying to hide it at first and then revealing it, and O'Leary taking it in stride like, "Oh, well, that's not good, is it? No, it's not. Where will you find pants/a hat to fit? Tricky that," in the way they casually and hilariously deal with the most alarming things on the show. How do they solve the problem, or do they?
• They have to use a Ouija board or some other device to try to contact someone who's passed on for information about a case. How crazily wrong could that go if they lose track of the letters and decipher the message incorrectly?
• One becomes psychic and drives the other crazy by constantly saying what will happen next, but only mundane things. Girl in the coffee shop's wearing purple today, before they get there, but not that someone naked is going to dash in front of their car, or something worth predicting.
• One gets possessed and the entity has messages show up on their skin or some other way, and they both keep interpreting the meanings wrong, but somehow fix it anyway. Or the possessed one keeps getting scolded by the others for being rude, pushy, nasty, whatever. O'Leary especially will not put up with that nonsense!
• Minogue or Maaka gets abducted by aliens, and can't convince the others that anything truly amazing/frightening/monumental happened. O'Leary especially keeps finding rational explanations for everything.
• Officer Minogue accidentally makes a crossroads deal with a demon for something absolutely ridiculous (like a meat pie). How does O'Leary come to understand he's really sold his soul, and how do they manage to get the deal annulled?
• A skinwalker-type creature appears as either of them insisting they're the real O'Leary/Minogue. How does the other discover which is the real one, and how silly does it get while they're trying to figure it out? 
• Minogue or O'Leary has a girlfriend who turns out to be a monster the other has to save them from in a strange or funny way, especially great if the other set the person up with that woman in the first place. 

A case, a car conversation, something goofy in Maaka's office in the tone of the show. Just make it weird in that Wellington way and I'll enjoy it!

Sense8
Wolfgang Bogdanow/Kala Dandekar/Rajan Rasal

All of them cooking together or doing any kind of project where they're having fun and bonding. It can lead to sexy things, or not.

• Wolfgang and Rajan decide to surprise Kala, maybe by cooking a nice dinner or with a gift or planning something they think she'll enjoy and Wolfgang is having a hard time keeping the secret with Kala in his mind, wherever she is, and it becomes a point of comedy with him trying to keep the secret and Rajan scolding him and getting amusedly irritated. Maybe it's an ongoing problem that when he tries to surprise the other, their sensate abilities give it away. (If Rajan decides to help him keep the secret by continually trying to distract him until she arrives by kissing him or something else every time he's close to giving the thing away, that's . . . a good plan. :)
• Wolfgang and Rajan wake up curled together in bed with Kala already up and in another part of the house. One thing leads to another. The story can end before it goes very far with the promise of what's to come, or you can go there. Maybe Kala joins in from the other room at first and then comes back to bed. 
• Kala's washing her hair or showering, Wolfgang knows because of their connection and goes to help her, making bringing Rajan with him so that they end up washing her hair, which leads to all of them doing each other's (and can lead to other things if you want). Or just Wolfgang or Rajan are showering or shaving or something, and one joins the other. Soaping and washing each other, and hairwashing as foreplay, is something I really like, especially with beautiful long hair like Kala's.
• Them dancing together, or just moments of one of them doing something affectionate to the other and it happening so naturally, would be fantastic. Wolfgang coming home and walking into the room and kissing Kala and then Rajan in greeting without hesitation and that catching Rajan a little off-guard (though delighting him). That kind of thing. 
• I also really like the idea of Wolfgang or Kala being alone with Rajan and kissing him or anything else and telling him that's from the other, who's not physically there but wanted them to. Or Rajan seeing Kala and Wolfgang getting aroused because they're picking up on other sensates' states and Rajan being incredibly turned on by that, whether or not anything happens.
• Maybe Rajan feels insecure because they can read each other's minds and he can't, and it comes out somehow, so they put him at ease by telling him (or showing him) the last few thoughts they shared, which happened to be about him.
• Them dealing with the trauma they've been through would also be great. Kala nearly died, and Wolfgang was tortured. The h/c of nightmares is great, so give him one. And if the guys treat Kala as if she's too fragile for a while because of nearly losing her, that's okay by me. 

Lots of kissing, flirting, and physical affection, with or without sex, will make me happy here.

The Girl in Lovers Lane
Bix Dugan/Danny Winslow 

Bix (Big Stupid if you like MST3K) is a drifter who comes upon Danny, a young man who's fled home in confusion, who's been attacked by riffraff who want to steal his pretty loaded wallet. Bix finds the wallet and throws an unconscious Danny over his shoulder to toss him into an empty train car. It didn't take long after Danny woke up for me to see the ship that should have been. 
 

When Danny wakes up, Bix eventually gives him his wallet back and agrees they can travel together. And they hang close throughout, down to Bix keeping Danny away from women, foregoing his own date to take care of Danny after a fight (a fight that's totally Bix' fault, but whatever), and in the end of the movie after the girl Bix fell for has been murdered (cringe-cringe-cringe), Danny takes Bix home with him, honest to Pete.
 

This movie contains (or contains the potential for) so many things I enjoy. Older man/younger man, streetwise/naive, hurt/comfort, jealousy, living together (they don't share a bed but a room), watching out for each other, one thinking he's no good for the other. It's like a feast of my favorite tropes at every turn. 
 

I like older Bix as sort of protector of presumably-18-year-old Danny (his parents have been together 19 years), and I'd prefer that instead of Bix dating Carrie and falling for her (beautiful though she is), a relationship begins with Danny instead or at least the characters recognize the clear potential and trajectory for that if they don't get together in the story.  
 

Please leave out the whole lovestruck-then-murdered Carrie storyline and just focus on the guys, though it's okay to mention her or for her to be present and alive and sweet as she was, just not as Bix' girlfriend.
 

• I'm okay with the idea that while they're in that first train car, Bix teases him about ways he could get his wallet back if he really wanted it, and Danny potentially goes for it. (Bix is gorgeous, after all, and maybe Danny's instantly got a crush.) I just don't want Bix to be mean about it or force him to do anything.
• A redo of the first scene in the diner when Bix pulls Danny away from the woman but this time it's as much his own jealousy as wanting to protect Danny from a prostitute. Let them go back to the single room they're renting and both sleeping in and do something about that jealousy (or not--just the obvious jealousy and Danny figuring it out would be great, too).
• Some h/c would be good. What if Bix has dreams of his abusive father and Danny has to pull him out of nightmares and hang onto him while they talk. Cuddling a bit and sharing a bed, good stuff.
• Jesse, who's creepy and only has eyes for Carrie in the movie, gets one look at Danny and can't leave him alone. An angry and jealous Bix cannot have that. Maybe even a scene where Jesse gets Danny alone at the lake or anywhere and gets handsy, like he did with Carrie, and Bix rescues him.
• Danny has such a crush on more manly, worldy Bix that he embarrasses himself at every turn, but Bix thinks it's adorable.
• Let's say Bix got the worse end of the fight and Danny has to take care of him back in their room. And Bix isn't used to anybody giving two shits about him, and can barely believe what he's feeling.
• A story where one or the other thinks the other has left town and abandoned him, but of course discovers that's not true. All the pining and angst. All of it.
• Bix calls Danny kid  a lot in canon. Maybe it gets to Danny and he's forced to admit he wants Bix to see him as a man, and Bix has to admit he does.

Them taking care of each other, protecting, flirting, arguing, seducing or being sweet with each other would be great.

The Trollenberg Terror
Alan Brooks/Philip Truscott 

I doubt the writer or filmmaker intended Philip to look like he was flirting his ass off from the moment he met Alan or appear so drawn to him, but that's how it turned out anyway, and I am there for it. 
 

Any missing scene with Philip and Alan would great, or canon divergences that put them alone, either before, during or after the aliens attacked in the end of the film. Flirting, banter and conversation, and UST (and maybe a first kiss or some other outward display of affection, or more) would be the bomb.

• Philip and Alan get trapped alone, either in Hotel Europa or on the mountain somewhere. What happens is up to you, but if they're in peril while they're trapped, that'd be worth a bonus point.
• Too many celebratory scotches lead them to fall asleep (innocently) in the same room, even the same bed. One (or both) is worried he made the pass he's been wanting to make at the other while drunk and doesn't remember how the other might have reacted so they basically flee to shower and change. I'd love to see them navigate this awkwardness until the truth comes out, and they can be relieved and happy. 
• They embrace after the fire-bombing raid, overjoyed that it's over and they're still alive, and have feelings, and then remember they're in a room full of people
• They're finally alone after the fire-bombing raid, relieved and flirting again, and Alan (or Philip) can't wait another second to kiss the other
• Philip has a nightmare about being choked to death like he almost was and wakes up screaming. Alan runs from his room to see what's going on and insists on staying with him. Or Alan can wake screaming from a nightmare of not being able to get Philip away from the alien that had him (or his brush with one), and Philip rushes into his room to see what's the matter. Lovely h/c scenario, imo! I will never tired of this kind of thing. 
• I like a scenario where they get closer after the film while they're still there and meet up shortly after to deal with another anomaly. Maybe one of them calls the other right away about a situation similar to what happened on the Trollenberg, or something equally screwed up, and getting back together makes them overcome their hesitancy.
• One of them has lingering injuries from the ordeal. I mean, Philip got hanged by the thing, and Alan got a bit mauled. Maybe adrenalin kept them going but once the threat is over, one of them needs further medical care and the other refuses to leave his side. 
• Together somewhere, maybe a planned meeting after Trollenberg because they both hesitate to let the other out of his life, a real-life danger crops up. Maybe an armed robbery, or an explosion or something relatively banal compared to tentacled giant-eye aliens with mind-control powers, and they handle it together, and flirty and/or sexy things ensue. 
• Maybe government agencies swoop in to interrogate and test everyone involved and they turn out to be agencies Alan can't navigate. He and Philip are separate for at least a few days, and their concern for each other boils over when they're finally allowed to see each other again. 
• The thing that grabbed Philip drags him away instead of holding him there and Alan only gets a glimpse of it retreating when he rushes outside. He has to go after it to save Philip, who could reasonably be unconscious by the time it's over and Alan has to carry him back to the observatory where he and Professor Crevett try to help him wake. 
• Or Philip fights his way free of it while no one's watching the screen, Alan can't find him and assumes the worst and thinks he's dead after the firebombing raid but either can't give in and goes to look one more time, or Philip stumbles out as people are leaving the observatory, worse for wear and needing some serious help.
   

Just about any h/c, protectiveness, or peril situation that leads to feelings realizations is alright by me, I swear.

Truth Seekers
Helen & Richard Roberts

I’m so in love with the friendship between Richard and Helen. It’s so pure and unassuming and healthy. Richard is an elderly white guy probably in his late 70s (Malcolm McDowell, who plays him, is 77) and Helen is a young black (and gorgeous, omg) woman who’s agoraphobic and germophobic with all kinds of anxiety issues due to some trauma she experienced (and you learn what that is eventually). 
 

Richard sees a Youtube makeup tutorial of hers while he’s watching Gus’ paranormal investigation video and ends up watching all her videos. He botches an attempt at a hello video that's funny enough to bring in subscribers for Gus. When they see each other via Gus’ video call with Elton John (her brother), they recognize each other and a beautiful friendship is born. Let me gush about it.
 

The whole group goes to a con. Helen apparently makes elaborate cosplays every year but her anxieties won’t let her go in and show them off. Of course, Richard doesn’t know this, so when they arrive, the first thing he does is ask if they’re ready to go in, and he turns around and says, “Helen?” He’s ready to accompany her in there and spend the day with her. But Helen is going to stay in the van (her anxiety never lets her go in). So Richard volunteers to stay in the van with her because he says he’s not that interested anyway. (<3)
 

She says she wants to be alone, and he doesn’t question her or act affronted. He looks at her and says, “Yeah. I understand,” with a little smile. These people just immediately like each other and have chemistry, and Richard who is made to seem like an old fart with little patience for Gus is secretly a patient and understanding, kind person.  And Helen, despite her discomfort, manages a “thank you” as they’re exiting the van, and I’m positive that was for Richard. :)

And then inside the con, which Gus is excited about because Peter Toynbee is speaking, Richard is just worried about it taking too long because he doesn’t want to miss Helen’s fancy dress part when she comes in for the competition. <3

Later when they’re alone at Richard and Gus’ home, he’s noticed some of her quirks and plainly says she seems quite fragile and asks if she’s ill, after explaining that he doesn’t mean to sound patronizing. She answers honestly, and he takes it in stride, never judging her, never trying to talk her out of how she feels. It’s god damn beautiful.

Their exchanges in this episode show how much they trust each other (and he even plainly says he trusts her at one point). It’s fabulous found family stuff! I mean, I’ve been in love with Malcolm McDowell since the 70s and all, so I’m a fan of his and that may make me biased, but this particular character is just so lovely in how he relates to Helen in such a caring and nonjudgmental way. Then he says they should go eat, and when she says she can’t do a roomful of strangers eating he shrugs and says oh, well then let’s order in. MY HEART.
 

Later in the show, Helen has fight her phobias to go into a place where there are lots of other people to save Richard's life, all while she’s not sure she can, but she does go in and she does her best because she cares about him. It’s so endearing because this is the kind of arc you expect of main characters, yet here we are with the side characters and all this growth. I love this friendship and am sad the show was cancelled after season one. 
 

The first time Helen comes to his house, Richard is horrified that he’s still in his robe and has to go change. He's so worried about what she'll think. They have an exchange where she says, “All my friends are virtual,” and he answers with, "All my friends are dead.” It’s a friendship match made in the stars. I don’t care if Helen and Richard are watching The Chase or bitching about the weather or talking makeup or anxiety or con costumes or Richard’s blinky stair-chair and his tendency to ride in it commando. Them together will be grand. 
 

As far as prompts, I think maybe a story where she does one of her wild, special effects makeup tutorials on him on video for YouTube would be great, because I think he would love that and look fabulous. Or maybe she lets him practice a technique on her, and he's good at it (or awful). Or they do a reaction video to anything fun or spooky. Maybe she's able to do something she’s afraid of as long as she’s with him, like go into a crowded place, with him concerned but not pushing the whole time. I love this beautiful friendship and anything showing that will make me happy.

Ghosts (BBC)
Pat Butcher & The Captain, Pat Butcher/The Captain

I love everything about this show. The Captain is my favorite, and I adore his friendship and kinship with Pat. They have so much in common. I am happy with friendship or deeper feelings starting to show themselves. I just love how they interact on the show. 
 

Any moment between them will be great, but for some ideas:

• God, the camping. Maybe they convince Alison to set up a tent for them even when she and Mike don't intend to camp so they can sleep in a tent outdoors do camping things like sit around a small campfire and tell ghost stories (ha). Sometimes the other ghosts join them and sometimes it's just the two of them. I feel like even though Pat gets after him about the war being over he'd be interested in specific stories about the troops and protocols and stuff because it's so similar to scouting, and vice versa. I can see The Captain listening rapt to some camping stories he hasn't heard before. And, can ghosts get spooked while camping? Maybe noises they can't identify bring back memories of boyhood and being with friends and scaring themselves while in the woods or something. Just bonding, that's all. 
• I love how nobody pushes anybody else into things they're not ready for (Mary's death story, Kitty's sister, Cap's sexuality). But it'd be great if the Captain slipped up and said something to or in front of Pat that he immediately regretted (maybe a comment about the handsomeness of someone on TV) and Pat agrees with him, maybe says something else along those lines, and rolls with it, putting the Captain's fears of anyone knowing to rest. 
• I really feel like they should have made a bigger deal about The Captain jumping on that bomb. Of course he's incorporeal to everything but other ghosts and couldn't be harmed, but he didn't think about that or he wouldn't have bothered to uselessly throw himself on it. He, in essence, was ready to give his life for theirs. I think that act of bravery is surely worthy of a small ceremony and badge. Maybe he can put it next to his teamwork badge.  
• He could tell Pat about Havers in a way that Pat figures it out, and it's obvious he has, and it's just a moment of confession and comfort, whether friendshippy or shippy. 
• Maybe The Captain clearly wants to say the truth and has so much trouble with it that Pat encourages him to say what he felt about Havers in Morse Code, because they discovered that everybody absolutely does not know Morse Code, and The Captain is able to say that he loved him that way. I think that would be a sweet and poignant moment. 
• I want The Captain to continue to give horrible names to things, like their Cocktail Social he called Cock Soc, and Pat to try to get him to stop with no luck. 
• Maybe The Captain catches Pat practicing his dance moves or learning a new dance to teach Kitty and joins in. He was cutting a pretty good rug at the wedding, after all. Them dancing would be such a great scene. 
• Any moment where one comforts the other, or they offer mutual comfort, over something sad about their lives or afterlives, as long as it ends in a smile (no sad endings please). 
   

Any other characters are welcome (I especially love Kitty, Fanny, and Julian) if you want to include them, and anything in the tone of the show would be great!

 
The Tick
Dot Everest/Overkill

Have some shippy prompts, and some sexy prompts if you're looking to write that. References to past canonical Overkill/Ms. Lint are fine, especially in a humorous light, like the way Dot told them they both needed therapy after witnessing her "torturing" him. Ha! I also really love Arthur & Tick (or Arthur/Tick) so feel free to include them or other characters if you want. 
 

• I'd love to see Overkill trying really hard to have a "normal" relationship with Dot. He asks her on their first official date, let's say. What does that look like and how awkward/uncomfortable is he, though he's trying really hard for a traditional evening? Or maybe he takes her somewhere they can shoot targets or throw knives or something and she thinks they're just training but he thinks it's a date. What does romance look like for each of them? I think there are a lot of great scenarios that could come out of their vastly different worldviews and Overkill's emotional repression. 
• I like the idea of Overkill being hesitant to have an actual relationship since he's canonically so uncomfortable with being vulnerable, and I would love for him to be vulnerable as things get more intense (and sexual if you want to go there) between them. At a certain point, he can get past that and go all in, and be growly and needy and a bit more aggressive. \o/
• A situation where either is hurt and the other comforting them, and things get romantic/sensual and/or sexual. 
• Him kneeling for any reason, but for doing something romantic or sexy (or impromptu oral sex)? More yay.
• Desperate kissing after defying death and/or saving each other that makes them realize things and leads to more (or not), all good stuff
• Laughing and having a good time (though maybe mostly Dot, but him feeling the same even if he doesn't show it as much), and their first really romantic or sexual encounter just being a feel-good happy thing, I'm on board with that. I love the idea of Dot drawing him out of his lonewolf cave.
• I also really like that he's so strong, but also that Dot is, too. So manhandling, one just moving the other here and there, very athletic sexytimes, whee.
• Maybe Dot takes charge and asks him on an official date, and while he's uncomfortable and a little awkward about it, he obviously wants to be with her, so he agrees. 
• I really like the idea of one thinking the other has been killed, all the things unsaid and undone and feeling such loss and grief, and the elation on finding them okay being the catalyst for more. 
• Overkill making his moves after seeing someone else flirting with Dot would be good, too. Pining and jealousy fic as long as feelings are revealed in the end and they're going to be together? I'm good! Dot goes on a date (or he thinks she does) and it makes him absolutely crazy, preferably with an unexpected kiss at some point because he just can't hold back anymore. 
• Overkill's cyborg hands going haywire would be a great scenario. Either because he keeps grabbing her and hanging on despite not trying to, or because someone's controlling his hands to try to kill her (or him) and he's trying to fight that. Good emotional stuff there. 
• Also his hands going haywire so Dot has help him do things like eat or something would be good. There are so many possibilities!
