Dear Id Pro Quo Writer
Hi, thanks for writing for me! I hope this letter is useful. I've organised my requested tags into groups to make things easier, but I definitely don't expect you to write more than one. (Though if you want to please feel free!)

Fandoms:
The Simpsons (Lisa/Juliet)
Alternate Universe - Academic Rivals, Alternate Universe - Boarding School, Alternate Universe - College/University, Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, Alternate Universe - Small Liberal Arts College, Characters meet at summer camp, Characters went to college/university together, Characters went to high school together, Crazy requirements in rich relative's will, Highly competent characters are even better together, highly specific AU based on your chosen profession/something you have researched on, Roadtrip, Romance, Roommates/Housemates - unexpected shared domesticity leads to feelings
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, and how it might have gone differently if they'd met later, or in different circumstances, or how it might go if they meet again when they're older, like in high school or college.
For the non high school/college/roommates tags I'm happy with them being aged up or kept at their canon ages.
Fandom specific DNWs: Romance above a G-rating (handholding, cheek kisses, etc) while they're at their canon ages (but aged up to teenagers is fine!), Lisa and/or Juliet being judged for being "weird" or imaginative (unless those judging them are meant to be wrong/unsympathetic).

Star Trek AOS (Kirk/Spock)
Alternate Universe - Top Gun Fusion
I rewatched this movie a while ago, and it struck me that it would make a great Kirk/Spock AU with Kirk as Maverick, Spock as Iceman, McCoy as Goose, and Pike as Viper. But, as far as I can tell, no one's written it, so I'm asking for it here. Updating the setting/plot to the 23rd century could be cool, but I'd be fine with keeping it set in the 80s and making it an all-human AU.
Fandom specific DNWs: Winona Kirk being a bad mother, any mentions of John Harrison/"Khan", human Spock's real name being anything other than "Spock".
Canon-setting specific DNWs: Vulcans having a lower body temperature than humans, the Star Trek future being sexist/homophobic/racist/ableist, Tarsus IV.

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 really like the idea of them working together and becoming closer, and there's so many points where things could have gone differently for one/both of them that I'd love to see explored.
A & B have to cancel planned date because A's ill/injured. B comforts and makes evening romantic, Bedside Vigils, Domestic Fluff, Fluff and Hurt/Comfort, Hurt/Comfort - Technically awful attempts at comfort are actually very comforting, Hurt/Comfort – Sickfic, Hurt/Comfort – Sickfic – common cold or flu, Hurt/Comfort – Sickfic – nausea/vomiting
They finally get some time together without work getting in the way, only for one of them to get ill/injured and have to adjust their plans. I'm fine with either of them being the hurt one, I just want to see one of them taking care of the other and trying to make them feel better.
(The Domestic Fluff tag doesn't have to be H/C, I just lumped it in with the rest of these to make things easier for myself. Any kind of fluffy domestic fic would be great.)
Adapting to Serious Permanent Injury, Alternate Universe - Character less injured than in canon, Character didn't expect to recover; has to figure out what to do now they have, Coming to terms with the permanent effects of significant injuries, Disabled Character Gets New Adaptive Tech, Fix-It, Formerly active character learns to cope with new disability, Hurt/Comfort - Long-term recovery from near-fatal injury, Hurt/Comfort - Recovery process from injury that is likely to be permanent, Recovery from near-fatal injury, Slow Burn - Soulbonding is the only way for A to save seriously injured B's life, Slow recovery from life changing injury, Soulbonds - Soulbonding is the only way for A to save severely injured B's life, Thing character has built a large chunk of their life around comes to an end; finding a new path, Time Travel Fix-It
This one's my fix-it request. I don't care how you do it, but I want Pike's fate fixed. AU where he recovers/his injuries aren't quite as bad? Section 31 stepping in to help? Secret mission to rescue him from Talos? Weird alien technology? Time travel? Or if you want to just handwave the actual saving bit and focus on the aftermath that'd be fine too. I'd especially love a focus on his recovery (and Ash's role in it), and I'm more than fine with him still being injured/disabled/scarred, just as long as he can still move and communicate and have a relatively normal life. (And isn't spending the rest of his life on Talos, because screw that.)
I'd also love to see Pike grappling with no longer knowing his future - either because it already happened or Ash stopped it somehow - and trying to figure out what that means and/or how to deal with it. (And also realising that he has to stop throwing himself into danger because he no longer has the certainty of knowing he'll survive it.)
I'd also be okay with Ash being the one to be hurt instead of - or as well as - Pike (maybe as a result of saving him?), as long as it's still less horrific than canon.
Character with PTSD from medical-related trauma is hospitalized, Consensual Sex Causes Flashback To Previous Trauma/Rape, Consensual Sex Character Thought They Could Handle Causes Flashback to Past Rape, Hurt/Comfort - One character comforts another after a nightmare, Panic Attacks, PTSD - Trauma triggered during sex, Recovering from abuse/trauma with the help of loved ones
Ash has been through a lot, and I'd love to see Pike finding out and offering comfort. (And Ash letting him, and maybe being shocked that Pike is being so kind because he thinks he doesn't deserve it.)
For the past rape type tags, I was thinking of the situation with L'Rell, but if you want to have it be Lorca being a manipulative bastard I'd be down for that too. Also I'd be shocked if he didn't have some kind of medical-related trauma given that his onscreen experiences involving sickbay are basically 1) everything to do with Voq (including being mind controlled into murdering someone) and 2) nearly dying after being attacked by a murderous AI.
Accidental Non-Human Baby Acquisition, AU where things are the same except character has a baby
Ash keeps Voq and L'Rell's son with him on Discovery instead of sending him to Boreth and has to muddle through being a single dad to a Klingon baby (possibly with Pike's help?) I just think this could be really cute.
Dimension travel to a universe where the characters are in a relationship, Time travel to a future where the characters are in a relationship
I'd love to see one or both of them (at the "friendship" stage or the "pining" stage or even the "never considered you like that before" stage) transported (physically or mentally) to a universe/future where they're in a relationship, and seeing how they deal with it and how it changes them. I'd especially love a fic where Pike is transported to a post-injury future where he's somewhat recovered and gets to see that, yeah, he's going to go through something terrible but it doesn't mean that's the end of his story, but any kind of dimension/time travel would be great.
Competence - highly effective teamwork, Highly competent characters are even better together, Wilderness Survival
Maybe Section 31 has to team up with the Enterprise for a mission? Or shore leave goes drastically awry? Or something set during the Discovery era could be fun too. Anything where Pike gets to show off his piloting/captaincy skills and/or Ash gets to be a great Section 31 leader would be especially loved.
A jealous of B's relationship w/C - B is in love with A; relationship with C actually platonic
I like the idea of Pike and Number One being really close friends to the point where people (like Ash) think they're together, but actually it's completely platonic. Or if you wanted to you could go AU and do this with Ash and Michael, where they never got back together in season 2.
A plans to propose to B and everything goes wrong but B says yes anyway
I just love the idea of the "perfect" planned proposal being derailed by illness or work or something, but everything working out because they love each other.
Rebound Relationship - Falling in Love
I can totally see Ash getting together with Pike as a casual thing after Michael disappears into the future, and then realising that actually he loves Pike and it's okay to be happy with someone else.
Wrongly accused character is cleared earlier than in canon
It's always bugged me that at the end of "If Memory Serves" Pike realises that Ash couldn't have been the one who told Section 31 where they are, but by the start of the next episode he's back to insisting Ash must be responsible as if there's no other possible conclusion. So I'd love an AU where he takes that realisation and actually does something with it. Maybe he and Ash decide to trust each other and work together? (And if this happens to lead to Airiam being found out early enough to be saved, all the better.)
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 as anything more than a brief mention.

Star Trek Discovery (Pike&NumberOne)
A & B help each other to get together with their crushes, Genuinely Platonic Fake Dating, Is it romance? Is it friendship? I don't know but we're important to each other, Platonic Bed-sharing, Platonic Bedsharing, Platonic Cuddling
I really like the idea of them being really close friends to the point that people think they're together, but actually it's platonic. (Totally fine with it being way more intense than a "normal" friendship, though! I also love the idea of it being platonic because they're both gay, but feel free to ignore that if you want.) For the crushes tag, for Pike I like Pike/Ash and Pike/OMC, and for Number One I'd prefer femslash, but I'm fine with pretty much any pairing except with Spock or Ash.
Both Captured - Forced to Work Together to Escape, Captivity - Trapped with someone in need of medical attention, Character is hurt protecting/helping others, Character scolded by loved one for endangering themself, Competence - highly effective teamwork, Highly competent characters are even better together, Hurt/Comfort - Keeping a sick character warm, Hurt/Comfort - Keeping sick/hurt character warm, Stranded on a Hostile Planet Together, Wilderness Survival
I'd love to see them working together seamlessly to survive or escape, especially while ill or injured. I'd love if Pike was the hurt one (or they're both hurt), but I'm okay with it being Number One instead.
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 and Number One having a sexual relationship/being sexually attracted to each other, Pike/Vina as anything more than a brief mention.

Star Trek Discovery (Gabrielle Burnham)
Descriptions of alternate universes & how things there differ from main universe, Dimension travel - meeting alternate versions of self/friends/antagonists, Dimension travel - visiting alternate dimension(s) where canon went differently, Time travelling to fix an apocalyptic future, Travel between alternate timelines
We only see the final timeline where Control is defeated, so I'd love to see some of the other timelines where things don't go according to plan. What it was like for Gabrielle, doing the same thing over and over, interacting with different versions of the same people, and how she grows and learns and adjusts and keeps trying to get it right. I don't really have any specific prompts for this, I just like the idea of seeing all those alternate universes; what changes and what stays the same.
Thanks again!
