I'm fine with any rating and canon-typical violence.
Optional prompts:
One of my favorite parts of the game were the scenes where people from different levels mix, so I would love to see more of that - could be some of the first meetings you set up in the game, could be something set after the game when people can travel the levels more freely, or anything you like. I'm also curious what might happen with the very top level of the tower after the game, or what might happen if anyone tries to leave it. What might the player character get up to after the game's true ending?

I'm fine with any tense/POV/rating, on-screen underage as long as the characters are at least 16, and canon-typical violence. I'm fine with any pronoun usage for Aoi.
I did a promo post for this canon a couple years ago: https://fffx.dreamwidth.org/32621.html?thread=487789#cmt487789
For either relationship involving him, I would love to see anything that explores Itsuki's strange between-worlds position. In general, I would also enjoy worldbuilding about the youkai vs human world, the history of youkai and human interaction, youkai curses/diseases, etc.
Optional prompts:
The Executive/Aoi: How did the Executive gain that soft spot for Aoi when one's a human-loving cat and one's a human-hating bird? How did they meet in the first place? (I kinda headcanon that Aoi hopped a ship to China for a while at one point and met the Executive there long before he was the Executive, but other ideas are fun as well!) Bonding again after Aoi's return - maybe they were together and rekindle a flame, maybe they weren't but losing Aoi for years has stirred something in the Executive. The Executive can tell that something is wrong with Aoi long before anyone else knows about the curse. Fun with shapeshifting abilities.
Executive/Itsuki: How might their dynamic change post-canon with Itsuki finishing growing up, Aoi back in at least some form, and Hanae mostly out of the picture for the moment? Perhaps without Hanae around, Itsuki ends up overworking himself, and the workaholic Executive spots it? Or perhaps Itsuki starts having nightmares (of giant flaming Aoi pinning him down? Hanae almost getting killed by the Executive? possessed!Hanae choking him? all of the above?) and the Executive gets involved when it's clear he's exhausted. The Executive has a Chinese motif, so perhaps he would be useful to consult and spend time with if the Mononokean receives a request from a Chinese youkai or something related to China? Concerned rumors started to spread that the Mononokean's new master is a human, and what better way to prove that there's nothing to worry about by spreading the news that the human-hating Executive is in a relationship with him?
Itsuki & Aoi: There are still so many unanswered questions about their past together. What exactly was the incident that led to Aoi taking him on, and how did they become so close afterward? Itsuki's parents are alive and well, according to the official fanbook, so, like, did Aoi pretend to be a distant relative or kind neighbor or something to cover up for taking him to the Underworld all the time, or what? How is their relationship going to be different once Aoi returns to their normal self and relieves the Princess, and what does Aoi think of everything Itsuki did to bring them back? Would also be down for any kind of pre-canon adventure or few with the two of them with bb!Itsuki learning the ropes of how to deal with clients at every stage of a request.

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Voryn Dagoth/Indoril Nerevar (Morrowind), Dagoth Ur/Nerevarine (Morrowind), Almalexia & Voryn Dagoth & Indoril Nerevar & Sotha Sil & Vivec (Morrowind), Char: Nerevarine (Morrowind), Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic
General likes: Outsider POV; Canon divergence AUs; Slice of life; Spirits, gods, and ghosts; Character exploration, introspection, and backgrounds; Traditional or historical clothing; Clothing kink of most kinds including crossdressing (exception: lingerie on anyone); Playing with gender/expression/gendered expectations; Intense friendships, complicated relationships, and sexual tension; Sharing beds or baths (platonic or otherwise); Floriography; Hanahaki disease (more on the beautiful body horror, less on the 'removal means never loving again' aspects); Sex pollen; Language barriers and cultural differences; Showing care without using words; Food or coffee/tea as affection; Playing with/doing up/brushing/washing hair, particularly long hair; Napes, necks, hands, wrists; Wingfic or wingart of any kind; Time travel/time loops; 4 + 1 or 5 times or similar formats; Experimental use of format
DNWs: Omegaverse, unrequested setting/career change AUs, pregnancy, noncanon death of canon characters, rimming, daddy/mommy kink, confirmed unrequited pining, humiliation, requested ships breaking up, repeated use of noncanon epithets ('the blonde', 'the girl') between characters who know and use each other's names (occasional use to emphasize something, etc, is fine)
Additional DNW for Morrowind: Almalexia and Nerevar's marriage being a completely loveless political marriage if it comes up
I'm fine with any tense/POV/rating, on-screen underage as long as the characters are at least 16, and canon-typical violence and the canon character deaths. I'm also fine with any gender/race of Nerevarine, but if you want direction, Altmers are my favorites.
Things I especially like in this fandom: Morrowind is a fandom that suits poetic or experimental writing - Vivec's sermons are a little too far on the surreal side for me, but feel free to experiment if you like. I also like works that either expand on things that were limited by it being a game or lean into weirdness that comes from it being a game.
Optional prompts:
Nerevar & friends: The happier days before Red Mountain or how Nerevar connected with everyone, cracks that were already there or developing before everything fell apart under the mountain (and what did happen under the mountain? Is there any one true answer?), or what happened around Nerevar's death and its aftermath, like how the Tribunal dealt and didn't deal with it. I'd also be happy with an interpretation of any of their relationships as a (as nice or messy as you like) poly situation.
Voryn/Nerevar: Was there a particular reason that Nerevar earned Voyrn's loyalty besides uniting Resdayn? What were those things he says he did 'at your command, at great cost to myself, and my honor'? Were they lovers that never quite could be, lovers even before Nerevar got hitched, lovers despite his marriage, lovers in a (messy?) poly situation, something else? Sorcery always has great potential ranging from 'intentional romantic/sex magic' to 'whoops, turned out this weird enchanted artifact I brought you to ask about is a magical sex pollen bomb'. Time magic happens and one or both goes from post-Red Mountain to pre-Red Mountain.
Dagoth Ur/Nerevarine: Is this a Nerevarine who feels lonely in a strange land goes to take Dagoth Ur up on his offer to join him out of desperation? One who actually doesn't believe the reincarnation story, but they like the sound of power and woah, Dagoth Ur has the literal physique of a god? One who takes one look at the backstory and madness and thinks I can fix him? One with zero combat skills but maxed personality and speechcraft? Some other things I think could be interesting for this ship are body horror with the flesh-warping aspects of Dagoth Ur/corprus, digging into that kind of tsundere Dagoth Ur writing, the potential for identity issues when you're supposedly a reincarnation and your lover keeps calling you by another name, or other ways those dreams could go.
Nerevarine: I'd be interested in something about being the Nerevarine as identity, especially if they are or become a true reincarnation of him. Or anything with the Nerevarine running around exploring and enjoying life out of prison, finding some of the weird Easter Eggs, forgetting about the main quest or inventing new ways to solve the problems of Vvardenfell, seeing seasonal changes the game didn't have, accidentally exploiting the game systems, learning about Vvardenfell's customs, etc. Would also love interactions with NPCs of your choice (interfering in the Ajira & Galbedir rivalry? Letting all those Dwemer researchers know that Yagrum Bagarn is alive?)

Kamijou Hikari/Shiina Hazuki (Hikari no Densetsu Anime), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic OR 2 x 5-Page Comics at Artist's Discretion, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic
General likes: Outsider POV; Canon divergence AUs; Slice of life; Spirits, gods, and ghosts; Character exploration, introspection, and backgrounds; Traditional or historical clothing; Clothing kink of most kinds including crossdressing (exception: lingerie on anyone); Playing with gender/expression/gendered expectations; Intense friendships, complicated relationships, and sexual tension; Sharing beds or baths (platonic or otherwise); Floriography; Hanahaki disease (more on the beautiful body horror, less on the 'removal means never loving again' aspects); Sex pollen; Language barriers and cultural differences; Showing care without using words; Food or coffee/tea as affection; Playing with/doing up/brushing/washing hair, particularly long hair; Napes, necks, hands, wrists; Wingfic or wingart of any kind; Time travel/time loops; 4 + 1 or 5 times or similar formats; Experimental use of format

I'm fine with any tense/POV/rating, on-screen underage as long as the characters are at least 16, and canon-typical violence. I don't have a full fandom primer, but I did make a recruiter AMV: https://melodytree.dreamwidth.org/24143.html
I'm down with any interpretation of Hazuki's illness, since the anime isn't 100% clear, including an eating disorder or leukemia (which is what I believe it is in the manga), as long as it isn't fatal. For art: since they're rhythmic gymnasts, I think it could be fun to use their apparatus in a symbolic way (ribbons as red strings of fate? balls as mirrors? hoops as rings? Whatever you can think of!).
Optional prompts:
The epilogue of the anime didn't happen and Hazuki and Hikari grow towards being rivals for the ages. Doing a gala routine together - or performing together just for themselves when nobody is watching. Late-night practice together with pining or an excuse for more. Hazuki helping Hikari do her hair and makeup. Dance lessons together. AU where Hikari accepts the offer to train abroad, but Hazuki comes too. Expressing their feelings for the other through a routine. Hands-on training help or stretching exercises. Helping each other with small injuries and bruises from training. Competing to see who can get a new element first/better - perhaps with a consolation prize for whoever is second.

Onmyouji | The Yin-Yang Master (Movies 2001 2003)
Abe no Seimei/Minamoto no Hiromasa (Onmyouji 2001 2003), Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic
General likes: Outsider POV; Canon divergence AUs; Slice of life; Spirits, gods, and ghosts; Character exploration, introspection, and backgrounds; Traditional or historical clothing; Clothing kink of most kinds including crossdressing (exception: lingerie on anyone); Playing with gender/expression/gendered expectations; Intense friendships, complicated relationships, and sexual tension; Sharing beds or baths (platonic or otherwise); Floriography; Hanahaki disease (more on the beautiful body horror, less on the 'removal means never loving again' aspects); Sex pollen; Language barriers and cultural differences; Showing care without using words; Food or coffee/tea as affection; Playing with/doing up/brushing/washing hair, particularly long hair; Napes, necks, hands, wrists; Wingfic or wingart of any kind; Time travel/time loops; 4 + 1 or 5 times or similar formats; Experimental use of format
DNWs: Omegaverse, unrequested setting/career change AUs, pregnancy, noncanon death of canon characters, infidelity, rimming, daddy/mommy kink, confirmed unrequited pining, humiliation, requested ships breaking up, repeated use of noncanon epithets ('the blonde', 'the girl') between characters who know and use each other's names (occasional use to emphasize something, etc, is fine)
I'm fine with any tense/POV/rating, on-screen underage as long as the characters are at least 16, and canon-typical violence.
I always love anything with period details or that evokes the feeling of the period, both in court (the court culture was ridiculous and glorious all at once, I love it) and out of it. I also love all kinds of spirits and ghosts, especially tsukumogami, and any use of magic.
Optional prompts:
Any kind of spooky happenings and/or spooky locations, whether the spirits are the ones up to trouble or the real demons are the ones in human hearts. Hiromasa is the one to save the day - perhaps Seimei has managed to get himself incapacitated or in trouble despite all of his magical knowledge, or perhaps knowing music (or the latest court gossip) is the key to smoothing everything over. Or perhaps Hiromasa gets targeted by a rival magician of Seimei's and needs help or rescue. Hiromasa comes across an interesting object and whoops it was haunted/magic. Inheriting Lady Aone's spirit had unexpected side effects; maybe Hiromasa simply gets an expanded lifespan like hers, or maybe it's something more interesting/scary than that. Something in Seimei's past (or Hiromasa's?) comes back to haunt them, perhaps literally. Foxes have different expectations of courting than Heian noble norms. In-universe writing - later scholars trying to make sense of what they got up to based on various diaries and stories and fanfiction, gossipy RPF about them from around the court (did you hear that Minamoto no Hiromasa saw Abe no Seimei without his hat?!), a diary that one of them keeps, paperwork that needs to get done after you save the capital from ruin....

Fast & Furious (Movies)
Brian O'Conner/Dominic Toretto (F&F)
Brian O'Conner/Letty Ortiz/Dominic Toretto (F&F)
I am always enthusiastic about this very shiny movie series. The pretty people, the pretty cars, the chosen family themes, the mad skills, the crazy stunts, the ridiculous lengths the characters all go to for each other. I have seen all the movies and enjoyed every one of them.
Brian/Dom or Brian/Dom/Letty
The further the timeline goes past Furious Seven, the more I miss the chemistry Brian and Dom had together; and I was also fascinated by what must have happened between Letty and Brian off-screen when she came to him to work a deal for Dom.
I'd love to see snippets of Brian involved with the plots of Fate of the Furious or F9, chasing after the bullets at Dom's side like always (perhaps Elena is alive and safely out the fray watching the kiddos instead?) But I'd be equally happy with canon-divergence getting-together fic set anywhere along the timeline. Such as: what if Brian had gone with Dom after Movie 1, or Dom was brought in in Movie 2 instead of Rome, or what if Brian did get some kind of deal for Dom in Movie 4 (and Letty is appreciative), or things got more complicated with Letty's return in Movie 6, or they *all* ended up in Tokyo instead of just Han, or any other what-if you can dream up! Or any sort of tropey AU (soulmates, powers, post-apocalyptic, etc.) as long as it doesn't hit a DNW.
[Please no bashing of existing romantic partners, or going behind a partner's back; but any other pairing setup would be fine, canonical or otherwise, including divergence AUs, off-screen breakups or some flavor of poly.]
Any rating OK. Treats are enabled, and always welcome!

Plane (2023)
Louis Gaspare/Brodie Torrence (Plane), Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5000-Word Fics at Author's Discretion
This movie checked off so many boxes for me in comfort watching. Action/Disaster; two guys with ample reason to distrust each other forced to work together and developing a bond; Gerard Butler, and even better, a Gerard Butler who is for once *not* the most capable action hero between the protagonists; and all's well that (mostly) ends well. Every bit of that is catnip to me.
And yet, very little fandom! I'd love to see anything else with these guys. While they're on the island - there's a lot of time for something to happen while Brodie and Gaspare are out on the island looking for rescue. (Something tropey, maybe...?) Or after the island - by the time they part they're clasping arms and the fugitive is calling the pilot my captain, so does Gaspare make contact after he finds his separate way off the island? Would not be opposed to glimpses of Bodie after rescue, healing up and reuniting with his family and dealing with everything that happened, or of how Gaspare got where he is, either how he ended up with a murder rap in the first place or how he managed to get caught after being free for 15 years.
Regardless, anything you choose to write for this fandom would be welcomed. :)

Air (2015)
Bauer/Cartwright (Air), Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5000-Word Fics at Author's Discretion
This request is not for the 2023 movie, it's for the post-apocalyptic scifi movie starring Norman Reedus and Djimon Hounsou. [As of this request, it's streaming free on Tubi.]
Movies like this one always leave me with so many questions. These guys have been trapped together, waking up from stasis only to bicker and spend a couple of hours checking on whether it's safe to revive their Noah's Ark facility yet and then going right back to sleep again when it isn't, for ages. Clearly it hasn't been good for their mental health, and they weren't really prepared for their job or even friends beforehand. But they've bonded intensely anyway. Even after disaster strikes and they go straight for each other's throats, Bauer's practically last words are for Cartwright to take care of the wife he's been keeping a secret (and hallucinating) all that time, like he's fine with the fact that Cartwright won.
So tell me more stories of these two guys stuck in post-apocalyptic hell keeping each other company! They clearly still have bodily functions, even if they're only awake a couple of hours at a time - do they ever sit down for actual meals? What were the first few panicky days like when they got sent there in the first place? What if the hallucinatory Abby (aka Cartwright's subconscious) started nudging him more in Bauer's direction to keep him a little saner? Or might something else tropey happen? What else do they do together in those gaps between caretaking tasks? Do they get horny and blow off steam together, pretending until they can't anymore that that's just maintenance too? Do they ever wake up on any particular day of significance and bicker about that too - for example, Valentine's Day?
If you want to set it all before the events of the movie and not deal with Bauer's canon fate, that's fine; echoing the bottle theme in the fic! I could also see a fascinating fic if Cartwright starts hallucinating Bauer *and* his wife afterward, and Bauer doesn't go away even after everyone else wakes up in the epilogue. But I would be really thrilled if you found a way to save Bauer, even - or especially - if that complicates things more afterward. :)

I am a sucker for competence!kink in this fandom. Awesomeness in the tone of the show (downtime interaction, or on a job being awesome, the nuts and bolts of how the Leverage front jobs - the restaurant, the food trucks, etc. work, whatever thrills you to write) or characters having non-job adventures between seasons or more explicitly figuring out how they fits together with their partner(s). In Sterling's case or Maggie's - how they get drawn further in to the Leverage world, and how that works out. :) Anywhere on the scale from fluffy to dealing-with-realistic-consequences, gen to explicit.
I also love fusion-AUs (Leverage characters in another setting, but very much themselves) for this fandom, and I'm always up for a good crossover, if that's something you'd like to write - solving or dealing with the consequences or interacting with the characters in pretty much any way would be awesome. Canon-divergent AUs are also welcome. Or thematic/tropey AUs like soulmates, soulmarks, etc., anything that doesn't take the characters out of the "sometimes bad guys make the best good guys" dynamic. Any rating welcome.
I have seen all of Leverage: Redemption so far, so feel free to include anyone from that series as well - or not - or AU it so that character(s) from the original show up during Redemption! You can go wild here, and I'm sure to enjoy.

I'm fine with any rating and canon-typical violence.
Optional prompts:
One of my favorite parts of the game were the scenes where people from different levels mix, so I would love to see more of that - could be some of the first meetings you set up in the game, could be something set after the game when people can travel the levels more freely, or anything you like. I'm also curious what might happen with the very top level of the tower after the game, or what might happen if anyone tries to leave it. What might the player character get up to after the game's true ending?

I'm fine with any tense/POV/rating, on-screen underage as long as the characters are at least 16, and canon-typical violence. I'm fine with any pronoun usage for Aoi.
I did a promo post for this canon a couple years ago: https://fffx.dreamwidth.org/32621.html?thread=487789#cmt487789
For either relationship involving him, I would love to see anything that explores Itsuki's strange between-worlds position. In general, I would also enjoy worldbuilding about the youkai vs human world, the history of youkai and human interaction, youkai curses/diseases, etc.
Optional prompts:
The Executive/Aoi: How did the Executive gain that soft spot for Aoi when one's a human-loving cat and one's a human-hating bird? How did they meet in the first place? (I kinda headcanon that Aoi hopped a ship to China for a while at one point and met the Executive there long before he was the Executive, but other ideas are fun as well!) Bonding again after Aoi's return - maybe they were together and rekindle a flame, maybe they weren't but losing Aoi for years has stirred something in the Executive. The Executive can tell that something is wrong with Aoi long before anyone else knows about the curse. Fun with shapeshifting abilities.
Executive/Itsuki: How might their dynamic change post-canon with Itsuki finishing growing up, Aoi back in at least some form, and Hanae mostly out of the picture for the moment? Perhaps without Hanae around, Itsuki ends up overworking himself, and the workaholic Executive spots it? Or perhaps Itsuki starts having nightmares (of giant flaming Aoi pinning him down? Hanae almost getting killed by the Executive? possessed!Hanae choking him? all of the above?) and the Executive gets involved when it's clear he's exhausted. The Executive has a Chinese motif, so perhaps he would be useful to consult and spend time with if the Mononokean receives a request from a Chinese youkai or something related to China? Concerned rumors started to spread that the Mononokean's new master is a human, and what better way to prove that there's nothing to worry about by spreading the news that the human-hating Executive is in a relationship with him?
Itsuki & Aoi: There are still so many unanswered questions about their past together. What exactly was the incident that led to Aoi taking him on, and how did they become so close afterward? Itsuki's parents are alive and well, according to the official fanbook, so, like, did Aoi pretend to be a distant relative or kind neighbor or something to cover up for taking him to the Underworld all the time, or what? How is their relationship going to be different once Aoi returns to their normal self and relieves the Princess, and what does Aoi think of everything Itsuki did to bring them back? Would also be down for any kind of pre-canon adventure or few with the two of them with bb!Itsuki learning the ropes of how to deal with clients at every stage of a request.

Additional DNW for Morrowind: Almalexia and Nerevar's marriage being a completely loveless political marriage if it comes up
I'm fine with any tense/POV/rating, on-screen underage as long as the characters are at least 16, and canon-typical violence and the canon character deaths. I'm also fine with any gender/race of Nerevarine, but if you want direction, Altmers are my favorites.
Things I especially like in this fandom: Morrowind is a fandom that suits poetic or experimental writing - Vivec's sermons are a little too far on the surreal side for me, but feel free to experiment if you like. I also like works that either expand on things that were limited by it being a game or lean into weirdness that comes from it being a game.
Optional prompts:
Nerevar & friends: The happier days before Red Mountain or how Nerevar connected with everyone, cracks that were already there or developing before everything fell apart under the mountain (and what did happen under the mountain? Is there any one true answer?), or what happened around Nerevar's death and its aftermath, like how the Tribunal dealt and didn't deal with it. I'd also be happy with an interpretation of any of their relationships as a (as nice or messy as you like) poly situation.
Voryn/Nerevar: Was there a particular reason that Nerevar earned Voyrn's loyalty besides uniting Resdayn? What were those things he says he did 'at your command, at great cost to myself, and my honor'? Were they lovers that never quite could be, lovers even before Nerevar got hitched, lovers despite his marriage, lovers in a (messy?) poly situation, something else? Sorcery always has great potential ranging from 'intentional romantic/sex magic' to 'whoops, turned out this weird enchanted artifact I brought you to ask about is a magical sex pollen bomb'. Time magic happens and one or both goes from post-Red Mountain to pre-Red Mountain.
Dagoth Ur/Nerevarine: Is this a Nerevarine who feels lonely in a strange land goes to take Dagoth Ur up on his offer to join him out of desperation? One who actually doesn't believe the reincarnation story, but they like the sound of power and woah, Dagoth Ur has the literal physique of a god? One who takes one look at the backstory and madness and thinks I can fix him? One with zero combat skills but maxed personality and speechcraft? Some other things I think could be interesting for this ship are body horror with the flesh-warping aspects of Dagoth Ur/corprus, digging into that kind of tsundere Dagoth Ur writing, the potential for identity issues when you're supposedly a reincarnation and your lover keeps calling you by another name, or other ways those dreams could go.
Nerevarine: I'd be interested in something about being the Nerevarine as identity, especially if they are or become a true reincarnation of him. Or anything with the Nerevarine running around exploring and enjoying life out of prison, finding some of the weird Easter Eggs, forgetting about the main quest or inventing new ways to solve the problems of Vvardenfell, seeing seasonal changes the game didn't have, accidentally exploiting the game systems, learning about Vvardenfell's customs, etc. Would also love interactions with NPCs of your choice (interfering in the Ajira & Galbedir rivalry? Letting all those Dwemer researchers know that Yagrum Bagarn is alive?)

I'm fine with any tense/POV/rating, on-screen underage as long as the characters are at least 16, and canon-typical violence. I don't have a full fandom primer, but I did make a recruiter AMV: https://melodytree.dreamwidth.org/24143.html
I'm down with any interpretation of Hazuki's illness, since the anime isn't 100% clear, including an eating disorder or leukemia (which is what I believe it is in the manga), as long as it isn't fatal. For art: since they're rhythmic gymnasts, I think it could be fun to use their apparatus in a symbolic way (ribbons as red strings of fate? balls as mirrors? hoops as rings? Whatever you can think of!).
Optional prompts:
The epilogue of the anime didn't happen and Hazuki and Hikari grow towards being rivals for the ages. Doing a gala routine together - or performing together just for themselves when nobody is watching. Late-night practice together with pining or an excuse for more. Hazuki helping Hikari do her hair and makeup. Dance lessons together. AU where Hikari accepts the offer to train abroad, but Hazuki comes too. Expressing their feelings for the other through a routine. Hands-on training help or stretching exercises. Helping each other with small injuries and bruises from training. Competing to see who can get a new element first/better - perhaps with a consolation prize for whoever is second.

I'm fine with any tense/POV/rating, on-screen underage as long as the characters are at least 16, and canon-typical violence.
I always love anything with period details or that evokes the feeling of the period, both in court (the court culture was ridiculous and glorious all at once, I love it) and out of it. I also love all kinds of spirits and ghosts, especially tsukumogami, and any use of magic.
Optional prompts:
Any kind of spooky happenings and/or spooky locations, whether the spirits are the ones up to trouble or the real demons are the ones in human hearts. Hiromasa is the one to save the day - perhaps Seimei has managed to get himself incapacitated or in trouble despite all of his magical knowledge, or perhaps knowing music (or the latest court gossip) is the key to smoothing everything over. Or perhaps Hiromasa gets targeted by a rival magician of Seimei's and needs help or rescue. Hiromasa comes across an interesting object and whoops it was haunted/magic. Inheriting Lady Aone's spirit had unexpected side effects; maybe Hiromasa simply gets an expanded lifespan like hers, or maybe it's something more interesting/scary than that. Something in Seimei's past (or Hiromasa's?) comes back to haunt them, perhaps literally. Foxes have different expectations of courting than Heian noble norms. In-universe writing - later scholars trying to make sense of what they got up to based on various diaries and stories and fanfiction, gossipy RPF about them from around the court (did you hear that Minamoto no Hiromasa saw Abe no Seimei without his hat?!), a diary that one of them keeps, paperwork that needs to get done after you save the capital from ruin....

Brian O'Conner/Letty Ortiz/Dominic Toretto (F&F)
I am always enthusiastic about this very shiny movie series. The pretty people, the pretty cars, the chosen family themes, the mad skills, the crazy stunts, the ridiculous lengths the characters all go to for each other. I have seen all the movies and enjoyed every one of them.
Brian/Dom or Brian/Dom/Letty
The further the timeline goes past Furious Seven, the more I miss the chemistry Brian and Dom had together; and I was also fascinated by what must have happened between Letty and Brian off-screen when she came to him to work a deal for Dom.
I'd love to see snippets of Brian involved with the plots of Fate of the Furious or F9, chasing after the bullets at Dom's side like always (perhaps Elena is alive and safely out the fray watching the kiddos instead?) But I'd be equally happy with canon-divergence getting-together fic set anywhere along the timeline. Such as: what if Brian had gone with Dom after Movie 1, or Dom was brought in in Movie 2 instead of Rome, or what if Brian did get some kind of deal for Dom in Movie 4 (and Letty is appreciative), or things got more complicated with Letty's return in Movie 6, or they *all* ended up in Tokyo instead of just Han, or any other what-if you can dream up! Or any sort of tropey AU (soulmates, powers, post-apocalyptic, etc.) as long as it doesn't hit a DNW.
[Please no bashing of existing romantic partners, or going behind a partner's back; but any other pairing setup would be fine, canonical or otherwise, including divergence AUs, off-screen breakups or some flavor of poly.]

Louis Gaspare/Brodie Torrence (Plane), Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5000-Word Fics at Author's Discretion
This movie checked off so many boxes for me in comfort watching. Action/Disaster; two guys with ample reason to distrust each other forced to work together and developing a bond; Gerard Butler, and even better, a Gerard Butler who is for once *not* the most capable action hero between the protagonists; and all's well that (mostly) ends well. Every bit of that is catnip to me.
And yet, very little fandom! I'd love to see anything else with these guys. While they're on the island - there's a lot of time for something to happen while Brodie and Gaspare are out on the island looking for rescue. (Something tropey, maybe...?) Or after the island - by the time they part they're clasping arms and the fugitive is calling the pilot my captain, so does Gaspare make contact after he finds his separate way off the island? Would not be opposed to glimpses of Bodie after rescue, healing up and reuniting with his family and dealing with everything that happened, or of how Gaspare got where he is, either how he ended up with a murder rap in the first place or how he managed to get caught after being free for 15 years.
Regardless, anything you choose to write for this fandom would be welcomed. :)

Air (2015)
Bauer/Cartwright (Air), Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5000-Word Fics at Author's Discretion
This request is not for the 2023 movie, it's for the post-apocalyptic scifi movie starring Norman Reedus and Djimon Hounsou. [As of this request, it's streaming free on Tubi.]
Movies like this one always leave me with so many questions. These guys have been trapped together, waking up from stasis only to bicker and spend a couple of hours checking on whether it's safe to revive their Noah's Ark facility yet and then going right back to sleep again when it isn't, for ages. Clearly it hasn't been good for their mental health, and they weren't really prepared for their job or even friends beforehand. But they've bonded intensely anyway. Even after disaster strikes and they go straight for each other's throats, Bauer's practically last words are for Cartwright to take care of the wife he's been keeping a secret (and hallucinating) all that time, like he's fine with the fact that Cartwright won.
So tell me more stories of these two guys stuck in post-apocalyptic hell keeping each other company! They clearly still have bodily functions, even if they're only awake a couple of hours at a time - do they ever sit down for actual meals? What were the first few panicky days like when they got sent there in the first place? What if the hallucinatory Abby (aka Cartwright's subconscious) started nudging him more in Bauer's direction to keep him a little saner? Or might something else tropey happen? What else do they do together in those gaps between caretaking tasks? Do they get horny and blow off steam together, pretending until they can't anymore that that's just maintenance too? Do they ever wake up on any particular day of significance and bicker about that too - for example, Valentine's Day?
If you want to set it all before the events of the movie and not deal with Bauer's canon fate, that's fine; echoing the bottle theme in the fic! I could also see a fascinating fic if Cartwright starts hallucinating Bauer *and* his wife afterward, and Bauer doesn't go away even after everyone else wakes up in the epilogue. But I would be really thrilled if you found a way to save Bauer, even - or especially - if that complicates things more afterward. :)

I am a sucker for competence!kink in this fandom. Awesomeness in the tone of the show (downtime interaction, or on a job being awesome, the nuts and bolts of how the Leverage front jobs - the restaurant, the food trucks, etc. work, whatever thrills you to write) or characters having non-job adventures between seasons or more explicitly figuring out how they fits together with their partner(s). In Sterling's case or Maggie's - how they get drawn further in to the Leverage world, and how that works out. :) Anywhere on the scale from fluffy to dealing-with-realistic-consequences, gen to explicit.
I also love fusion-AUs (Leverage characters in another setting, but very much themselves) for this fandom, and I'm always up for a good crossover, if that's something you'd like to write - solving or dealing with the consequences or interacting with the characters in pretty much any way would be awesome. Canon-divergent AUs are also welcome. Or thematic/tropey AUs like soulmates, soulmarks, etc., anything that doesn't take the characters out of the "sometimes bad guys make the best good guys" dynamic. Any rating welcome.
I have seen all of Leverage: Redemption so far, so feel free to include anyone from that series as well - or not - or AU it so that character(s) from the original show up during Redemption! You can go wild here, and I'm sure to enjoy.
