Fandoms:


The Simpsons (Lisa/Juliet)

Juliet only appears in one episode (Lisa the Drama Queen), but I loved the relationship between her and Lisa. They seemed to connect so well, in a way that's pretty rare for Lisa, and I like how smart and imaginative they both are. I'd love to see more of that relationship, especially if it involves them meeting again in the future.

Prompts:

• Lisa ends up going to the same high school/college as Juliet and they reconnect.


• The last person Lisa expected to see at summer camp was Juliet.


• A moment between them before everything went wrong.


• AU - What if their attempt at running away together had been (more) successful? Where do they go? What do they do?


• AU - Getting their book published leads to reconciliation.

For this fandom, I'd prefer you keep it very G-rated (handholding, cheek kisses) unless they're aged up to at least teenagers.



Star Trek Discovery (Pike/Ash)

I really like this pairing, and always want more fic for it. I love how Pike is such a genuinely good person, and how Ash is clearly damaged but still trying to do the right thing, even if he isn't always sure what that is. I also really love how the catalyst for them going from disliking and distrusting each other to basically friends is fighting a robotic squid from the future, and the potential bond formed by them being two of the only people left behind at the end. I'd love something set after Season 2 with Pike back on the Enterprise and Ash working on rebuilding Section 31, but almost anything about them would make me happy.

Prompts:

• Not all of the meetings between the head of Section 31 and the captain of the Enterprise are purely professional.


• One of them gets sick/injured on/before shore leave together, but they manage to make it work.


• Undercover on a mission together.


• Stranded on a planet together and trying to survive.


• AU - Ash brings Voq and L'Rell's son with him to Discovery instead of leaving him on Boreth. Turns out Pike is good with kids, even Klingon ones.


• Ash learns that not all captains are terrible people, Pike learns that not everyone who works for Section 31 is devoid of morals. (Past messed-up Ash/Lorca and/or Pike/Leland a bonus.)


• Ash uses his Section 31 powers to heal Pike or otherwise save him from his fate. (I'm fine with him still being injured or disabled in some ways, just as long as he can move and communicate and have a relatively normal life.)

Note: While I've DNW'd noncon, mentions of Ash's canon trauma are fine.

Fandom specific DNWs: References to Pike's fate in TOS or his knowledge of same (unless you're writing a fix-it), the Star Trek future being sexist/homophobic/racist/ableist, Pike/Vina.



What's It Gonna Be - Shura (Music Video) (Shura/Sarah, Nick/Brad)

Video here

I really like this video, and if it was a full-length film I would see it in a heartbeat. I love how it starts out with the brother and sister pining after their het crushes and ends with them realising they'd rather have each other's crushes instead. If you want to try and write the full-length version of this I would be thrilled, but even a snippet would be great.

Prompts:

• Shura and Nick plan out their campaign.


• Shura realises she's actually into Sarah and not Brad and/or Nick realises he's actually into Brad and not Sarah.


• Shura and Nick confess their new crushes to each other and come up with a new plan.


• How does the rest of the school react to a nerdy girl dating a cheerleader, or a nerdy boy dating a jock?


• Double dates, or the four of them hanging out together.

Thanks again!
