The Witcher (TV)
Coën/Eskel/Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier | Dandelion/Lambert (Witcher TV), Duny/Geralt of Rivia (Witcher TV show), Eskel/Jaskier | Dandelion (Witcher TV), Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier/Yennefer of Vengerberg (Witcher TV), Jaskier | Dandelion/Yennefer z Vengerbergu | Yennefer of Vengerberg (Witcher TV), Medium: Fanart, Medium: Fanfiction, A/B/O - Female Alpha Marries Male Omega, A/B/O - Marriage Triad Two Alphas and One Omega, Accidental/unexpected soulbond is cultural equivalent of marriage, dancing at friend's wedding leads to unexpected soul bond, Fake Soul Mark to Invoke Emergency Common Law Soul Bond Marriage, Forced Marriage Leads to Unwanted Soulbond, Forced to Marry Due to Soulbond, Many Alphas Marry One Omega, Marriage Arranged Because of Matching Soulmarks, Marriage As Political Tool, Marriage for politics, Marrying to save someone from an arranged political marriage, Omega In Heat leads to Group Marriage, Political marriage to enemy that turns to love, Prophetic dreams of marrying poly soulmates, Rescuing One's Spouse From Danger, Soulmate Wedding Ritual, Married Couple with Het Mpreg
Half of these are with Duny/Geralt in mind. PLEASE lots of Nilfgardian Aristocrats vs Geralt if you do this.
Because it is BRILLIANT and so much fun to enjoy- especially if Pavetta is all for a joint marriage, or anything like that.
All others, so excited for anything omegaverse and group bonds and Witchers having soft sweet moments.
Give Witchers Cuddles 2k20.
ALWAYS open to more canon characters from the show or witchers from the games joining, in case I missed any. Maybe Yen joining the huge group poly? Breeding is okay- always. But I am just happy to get Witchers Being SoftTM or soulbonds or omegaverse with happy endings. The world needs so many more happy endings right now.
DNW: No Violent Rape No Torture No Gore No Scat No Death (unless of bad guys) No Transphobia (if trans characters) No talking down at omegas or degrading talk about women/omegas.

Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Video Game)
Emhyr var Emreis/Geralt of Rivia (games), Medium: Fanart, Medium: Fanfiction, Fake Soul Mark to Invoke Emergency Common Law Soul Bond Marriage, Fake Marriage That Leads to Real Feelings, dancing at friend's wedding leads to unexpected soul bond, Forced Marriage Leads to Unwanted Soulbond, Forced to Marry Due to Soulbond, Marriage Assumed to be Meaningless Formality Actually Induces Soulbond, Accidental/unexpected soulbond is cultural equivalent of marriage, Marriage that results in soulbond to keep enemy under your control, Marriage to keep enemy under your control, Political marriage to enemy that turns to love, Marrying Your Enemy, Disasterously Incompatable Political Marriage, Marriage As Political Tool, Prophetic dreams of marrying poly soulmates, Marrying for a prophecy, Marrying to protect someone from danger, Rescuing One's Spouse From Danger
Emhyr marries Geralt when Ciri is a tween after 2-6 years of Geralt raising her after the ship "goes down" is my fondest wish.
Especially Geralt in dresses or floofy clothes hiding with Ciri who is equally feral to "train" her but really it is both of them hiding from court because fuck court. Yen and others visiting to help Ciri is a bonus.
Legit any of these tags are gold... but if you work in the above MY SOUL.
Completely okay with severely dubcon - especially looking for how Geralt learns to love Emhyr who was once his friend Duny. Especially with the betrayals of Emhyr, both his own dark past and the Usurper, as well as his lying to Geralt all these years.
Bonus for the painting of angry gremlin Ciri being used/referenced/a plot point because I swear no one was at ALL SURPRISED how feral Adult Ciri was, like no one. It was beautiful. Everyone knew about that painting that Emhyr said so proudly was going to be their princess and she is EXACTLY like her portrait. Goddess save them all.
Double Bonus for Nilfgardians, who have never seen Pavetta, and/or honestly think Geralt is Ciri's mother- especially if Geralt is an omega or is an Alpha assumed to be Omega because Witcher messes with scents. That is the sort of gender shenanigans I adore.
DNW: No Hurt without comfort, No Scat, No Death (unless of bad guys), No Transphobia (if trans any characters), No talking down at omegas or degrading talk about women/omegas.

Please no fat shaming of any kind, from anyone else than Rodney's own self image struggles or delighted surprise at being touched so tenderly on his soft love handles or thighs or belly.
DNW: No Hurt without comfort, No Rape, No Gore, No Torture, No Scat, No Death (unless of bad guys), No Transphobia (if trans characters), No talking down at omegas or degrading talk about women/omegas.

DC's Arrowverse
Oliver Queen/Felicity Smoak (Arrowverse)
Medium: Fanart
Medium: Fanfiction
Woke Up Married, Wedding is Attacked, Vegas Wedding, Undercover as Married, Fake Marriage, Fake Wedding To Obtain Gifts From Rich People (and they really RSVP), fake wedding to bait criminals and/or enemies, drunken marriage, Fake Dating leads to Real Wedding, Decoy Wedding To Ensure Real Wedding Goes Smoothly, Fake Marriage for PR Reasons, Fake Marriage to Piss Off the Press, Post-Bachelor(ette) Party Shenanigans Damage Control, Bachelor(ette) Party Shenanigans Endanger People's Ability To Attend The Wedding Ceremony
Right now, Oliver/Felicity is the biggest ship I am in, and I am going down with it all the way. I love these two and their dynamic. Don't get me wrong - I would love an actual marriage for these two, and they certainly deserve one, but the wacky hijinks possible are too much to ignore from being undercover/drunk/high on Vertigo/faking for legal, monetary, or vigilante based reasons. Just, just these two being put in an impossible situation and then just running with it, please? Or actually married!
I would most love something set in the early, 1-3 seasons of Arrow, before they get into an established relationship in canon - basically, speed up their forever, so they have a little more time, if you can. Beyond that, just give me something *happy* and fluffy, and no (or minimal) angst, and I will love it forever. (There's that quote about "we deserve a soft epilogue" that comes to mind for me for these two).
I will be honest, i just started typing words and picked tags sorta at random? Hopefully something here strikes your fancy, and you don't feel overwhelmed instead.

Full Metal Panic
Chidori Kaname/Sagara Sousuke (Full Metal Panic)
Medium: Fanart
Medium: Fanfiction
Woke Up Married, Wedding is Attacked, Vegas Wedding, Undercover as Married, Fake Marriage, fake wedding to bait criminals and/or enemies, Fake Dating leads to Real Wedding, Decoy Wedding To Ensure Real Wedding Goes Smoothly
LOOK, I have a TYPE, okay?! Like, superficially, Kaname/Sousuke have nothing in common with Oliver/Felicity, but, like, girl genius who has best friend who was raised on battlefield, they must keep their true activities secret from everyone while fighting crime? Yeah, pretty much everything I said about Oliver/Felicity applies here too.
I love this anime so much, with its blend of humor and plot, the way it manages to be light and funny while still taking itself serious, that's pretty much my exact jam.
Again, just, whatever you write pretty much, I will be happy with, especially here, since there is so little fic for these two floating around compared to Arrow. As long as they get a happily ever after, how they get there is up to you. Obvious I am a huge sucker for the whole undercover/fake dating/marriage trope, but really, it's all the tropes I love. "There was only one bed", "road trip", "they were roommates", just ... Oh! I know - I love Hallmark movies. They are so cliche and obvious, but I am just a sucker for a happy romance story, and if there is nonsensical hijinks along the way, so much the better.
Seriously, go wild (This applies to all of my requests)!

UMMM, these two! I have been staying a few episodes back to save for a rainy day when I learned this show was CANCELLED and now I am just sooooo sad, and kind of want to both binge the last few episodes as fast as I can and saving them forever so there will always be some more to watch. The dynamic these two have, I just love it - the way they pretty much immediately went from "total strangers" to "ride or die best friends forever" combined with just the sheer trust in watching each others' kids and how they invite each other into their lives wholly and ...
I want them to have a happily ever after. Yeah, that "soft epilogue" totally applies here as well, that's all I want for all of these, is them making it to happily ever after. And if there can be some tropes and fun along the way, so much the better!

There's so much depth and richness to this story. I love how hopepunk it is: yes, terrible things have happened, and yes, there are genuinely evil people, and yes, there are people who aren't evil but are nonetheless really awful. And yet, despite it all, good people win. There are people who can be trusted to be good, and kind, and loyal. I love how three-dimensional everyone is, not just the heroes but the villains, too. I love elaborate court politics and AUs that explore what might have happened. I love worldbuilding, particularly stuff that brings in new depth to the characters or the setting.
For a sedoretu, you can bring in other characters for the pairings that don't have enough.

The thing I love about the Thrawn trilogy is how smart everyone is, and how they never pass around the idiot ball. I love Mara, how she's a bit messed up from the Emperor but even at her worst she's loyal and practical and ethical and competent, and how she's committed to growing and becoming a better person, but she's gonna do it in her own way. I love Lando because he is a deeply pragmatic and principled man (who was right to put the welfare of his citizens above that of a couple of old friends he hadn't seen in years), who will do the right thing even if it's hard, but who does his bit for the Grand Cause when necessary and then goes back to real life. And I love Luke because he is an idealist, because he always sees the good in people, and because he is kind but not stupid or bland. Winter had so much potential as Leia's oldest surviving friend, and it mostly got buried with her as a background character. Han and Leia are awesome, of course, and I'm interested to see how Lando would change their dynamics, and I'm also interested in Han and Lando's history. Do Leia and Lando work together on political negotiations/shenanigans while Han plays house-husband and swoops in with the Falcon when they need backup? Do Han and Lando go off and make shady business deals and come home to Leia with intelligence she can use politically? What's Lando been up to after the Empire was defeated? Did he go back to Cloud City and liberate it? Did he start over and drift back into semi-legal exploits? Did he get a job in the New Republic, in whatever department handles business regulation and the like? You could do curtainfic, or business shenanigans, or Dire Imperial Threat to the New Republic, or Lando and Mara providing much-needed pragmatism and outside perspectives on Luke setting up his Jedi training.
My theory of SW canon is like my theory of comics canon: pick and choose what you like and ignore the rest. You can bring in ST details if you want to, but please no Ben Solo/Kylo Ren, and please don't destroy the New Republic. From the Legends EU, please no Yuuzhan Vong, and I hated the whole "oh, of COURSE Mara couldn't ever really have been with Lando, she doesn't even LIKE him, it was ALL JUST A JOB FROM KARRDE" retcon for like a hundred different reasons.. Any PT or Clone Wars details are fine to include, if you want.

I love what we see of Bail Organa: a deeply principled man, devoted to democracy, who doesn't see the Republic's fall soon enough but dedicates himself to overthrowing the Empire immediately and takes action when everyone else is hesitating. I wish we saw more of Queen Breha, because I imagine she must be a remarkable woman to match Bail and to raise Leia with him so that she turns out to be the incredible person we know and love. I want to see Bail and Breha as a power couple, working together. They can be in love or just really good friends, as long as they're working together to protect Alderaan and save the galaxy.

I love these two, and I want more of them. They love one another, but they also both have goals and duties that they take very seriously. I love Wakanda, and would be thrilled to see more of it and more worldbuilding about what it's like. Also, I don't like the main Avengers/Cap/Iron Man storyline from Age of Ultron onward, so feel free to either ignore it or retcon it or fix it through time travel.

Curzon Dax (ST: DS9)/Nyota Uhura (ST: TOS), Medium: Fanfiction, Cross-Species Marriage, Interspecies wedding rituals, Marrying Late in Life, Later in life marriage
I love alien culture worldbuilding. I love boldly going and exploring and wacky science hijinks and time travel and alternate universe shenanigans. I love the hopeful attitude that we can become better than we are. I love cross-cultural romance (especially when it deals realistically with having to figure out what compromises each is going to make on what they expect out of a relationship--love is not all you need, you also need a lot of hard work and communication). Did you know that, between the time of the TOS movies and the beginning of TNG, Nyota Uhura became the head of Starfleet Intelligence? I think that's awesome. If that makes it into the story, great. If not, I think Curzon was probably a character who had a lot of fun, and I think Nyota deserves a lot of fun, too. It's interesting, we think of Curzon as an "old man", but Nyota was older than he was.

I love this show, but boy howdy do I want people to learn to deal with their shit. They all need so much therapy. If you want to deal with the various traumas, PTSD, anxieties, and other mental health issues most of them have, I would love it, but if that's not your thing that's fine too. Also, I like the shenanigans over Cylon/Human hybrid children, and my headcanon is that the reasons Cylons couldn't procreate biologically is because the Ones were lacing the water supply on Cylon ships with birth control.
When I watched Caprica, and saw that the Colonies had polygamy, I was even more disgusted with the adultery/angst of the Lee/Kara/Sam/Dee foursome. Why didn't they just all get married instead of angsting over who loved who? Of course, a poly marriage requires even more communication than a mono marriage, and they all suck at communication ... if you go that route, some angst is fine but please not too much, and don't let Kara hog the spotlight. (My two favorites in that foursome are Dee and Sam.) You could do interesting stuff on New Caprica with two on the surface and two in orbit, or you could do "dealing with the revelation that half the spouses are cylons," or you could do "how did they negotiate the arrangement to begin with" or any number of other ideas. I love Laura/Bill, how well they work together and how deeply they love one another and how, on the surface, they look like she's the emotional one and he's the stoic one, but when you get right down to it he's the one driven by emotion and she's the one who is able to set her emotions aside and think things through. I think the revelation that Tory and Galen used to be married is incredible, and wish they'd had more time to explore that either what they were like before their memories were wiped and they were dumped in the Colonies, or give them a chance to deal with all the shit after they learn the truth. (An AU where Tory didn't kill Cally would be great--what does Cally think of all this?--and/or an AU where Nicky really is Galen's and thus half-Cylon, but feel free to go with canon if you prefer.) Helo and Sharon are wonderful together, and I love their rock-solid devotion to each other and to Hera and to doing the right thing. Caprica/Tigh was so deliciously fucked up, and yet I was rooting for them to get it together and figure out what to do with each other and with a kid.

I love the worldbuilding, especially Minbari culture. I love the lighthearted teasing and genuine affection between Marcus and Stephen, and how the joke when they went undercover-as-married wasn't "lol gay" but "lol they'd drive each other nuts." (If you write Marcus/Stephen you can do "more of their undercover shenanigans" or you can do an actual marriage between them, either would be awesome.) Timov is my favorite Centauri character, and I deeply regret we didn't see more of her. I consider "To Dream in the City of Sorrows" canon and firmly believe that when Sinclair went into the past and became Valen, he found Catherine again after she was lost in time. And Sheridan doesn't deserve Delenn, but he knows it and she loves him anyway.

I love alien culture worldbuilding. I love boldly going and exploring and wacky science hijinks and time travel and alternate universe shenanigans.

I love cross-cultural romance (especially when it deals realistically with having to figure out what compromises each is going to make on what they expect out of a relationship--love is not all you need, you also need a lot of hard work and communication). Worldbuilding is my jam, and I love exploring cultural differences, and all of these pairings would give a lot of scope for such things if you're into that. I love Vulcan characters and exploring Vulcan culture, and if that's what we matched on, you don't have to bring in DS9 any more than just having it set in the general era. Or you could have characters serving on that Vulcan ship the DS9 characters played baseball with. Or you could have Vulcan characters where one or both spouses are serving in Starfleet during the Dominion war. I love Pon Farr, but mostly dealing with the implications of it (both before and after) and not the sex part.
For Kira/Odo, I love them both so much together or apart and just want them to be happy together in the end. For Kira/Sisko, I would imagine some really awkward thing because he's the Emissary and needs to marry a Bajoran for some reason, but if you want to go with them falling in love and it causing problems because he's the Emissary, that might be interesting too. Jadzia and Worf are such an interesting odd couple, very different and yet very deeply in love, and I always appreciated seeing them mutually adapt to one another. Jadzia and Benjamin, well, they've always been close, it would be interesting to see them close in a different way.

I love cross-cultural romance (especially when it deals realistically with having to figure out what compromises each is going to make on what they expect out of a relationship--love is not all you need, you also need a lot of hard work and communication).
I think Worf and Tasha could have had a really interesting relationship if either of them had had ANY character development in the first few seasons when Tasha was on the show. I think Worf's struggle with his heritage makes it really interesting to think about him in a relationship, because there are always cultural things to negotiate. I think Geordi was another one who didn't get much character development, but he was a great guy who would make a great spouse. I absolutely LOVE Ro Laren, she's such a contrast to the rest of them. Guinan is wonderful, but alas didn't get much chance to move beyond the Magical Negro stereotype. Any or all of these are interesting relationships that could be really fun ways to dive deeper into who these characters are.
As for plot ... it's Star Trek. If you want to play it serious and show them falling in love in between missions, go for it. But if you want to lean into the wacky tropes Star Trek was known for, that's great too. As long as everyone is in character, feel free to go as cracktastic as you want with the time travel and travel to alternate universes and weird missions.

(My meta about Vulcans--and some fics I've written--can be found here, you can incorporate it if you want or go a completely different direction and I will be happy either way.

Especially Geralt in dresses or floofy clothes hiding with Ciri who is equally feral to "train" her but really it is both of them hiding from court because fuck court. Yen and others visiting to help Ciri is a bonus.
Legit any of these tags are gold... but if you work in the above MY SOUL.
Completely okay with severely dubcon - especially looking for how Geralt learns to love Emhyr who was once his friend Duny. Especially with the betrayals of Emhyr, both his own dark past and the Usurper, as well as his lying to Geralt all these years.
Bonus for the painting of angry gremlin Ciri being used/referenced/a plot point because I swear no one was at ALL SURPRISED how feral Adult Ciri was, like no one. It was beautiful. Everyone knew about that painting that Emhyr said so proudly was going to be their princess and she is EXACTLY like her portrait. Goddess save them all.
Double Bonus for Nilfgardians, who have never seen Pavetta, and/or honestly think Geralt is Ciri's mother- especially if Geralt is an omega or is an Alpha assumed to be Omega because Witcher messes with scents. That is the sort of gender shenanigans I adore.

Right now, Oliver/Felicity is the biggest ship I am in, and I am going down with it all the way. I love these two and their dynamic. Don't get me wrong - I would love an actual marriage for these two, and they certainly deserve one, but the wacky hijinks possible are too much to ignore from being undercover/drunk/high on Vertigo/faking for legal, monetary, or vigilante based reasons. Just, just these two being put in an impossible situation and then just running with it, please? Or actually married!
I would most love something set in the early, 1-3 seasons of Arrow, before they get into an established relationship in canon - basically, speed up their forever, so they have a little more time, if you can. Beyond that, just give me something *happy* and fluffy, and no (or minimal) angst, and I will love it forever. (There's that quote about "we deserve a soft epilogue" that comes to mind for me for these two).
I will be honest, i just started typing words and picked tags sorta at random? Hopefully something here strikes your fancy, and you don't feel overwhelmed instead.

LOOK, I have a TYPE, okay?! Like, superficially, Kaname/Sousuke have nothing in common with Oliver/Felicity, but, like, girl genius who has best friend who was raised on battlefield, they must keep their true activities secret from everyone while fighting crime? Yeah, pretty much everything I said about Oliver/Felicity applies here too.
I love this anime so much, with its blend of humor and plot, the way it manages to be light and funny while still taking itself serious, that's pretty much my exact jam.
Again, just, whatever you write pretty much, I will be happy with, especially here, since there is so little fic for these two floating around compared to Arrow. As long as they get a happily ever after, how they get there is up to you. Obvious I am a huge sucker for the whole undercover/fake dating/marriage trope, but really, it's all the tropes I love. "There was only one bed", "road trip", "they were roommates", just ... Oh! I know - I love Hallmark movies. They are so cliche and obvious, but I am just a sucker for a happy romance story, and if there is nonsensical hijinks along the way, so much the better.
Seriously, go wild (This applies to all of my requests)!

UMMM, these two! I have been staying a few episodes back to save for a rainy day when I learned this show was CANCELLED and now I am just sooooo sad, and kind of want to both binge the last few episodes as fast as I can and saving them forever so there will always be some more to watch. The dynamic these two have, I just love it - the way they pretty much immediately went from "total strangers" to "ride or die best friends forever" combined with just the sheer trust in watching each others' kids and how they invite each other into their lives wholly and ...
I want them to have a happily ever after. Yeah, that "soft epilogue" totally applies here as well, that's all I want for all of these, is them making it to happily ever after. And if there can be some tropes and fun along the way, so much the better!

There's so much depth and richness to this story. I love how hopepunk it is: yes, terrible things have happened, and yes, there are genuinely evil people, and yes, there are people who aren't evil but are nonetheless really awful. And yet, despite it all, good people win. There are people who can be trusted to be good, and kind, and loyal. I love how three-dimensional everyone is, not just the heroes but the villains, too. I love elaborate court politics and AUs that explore what might have happened. I love worldbuilding, particularly stuff that brings in new depth to the characters or the setting.
For a sedoretu, you can bring in other characters for the pairings that don't have enough.

Medium: Fanfiction, Couple Getting Married Is Scandalous to Polite Society, happy marriage / domestic, Morganatic marriage (the children can't inherit because one spouse is too low-born), Sedoretu, Have to get married to bring balance to the Force, spouses who are frequently apart for reasons, Time Travel Backward To Fix The Past Also Results In Unexpectedly Getting Married, Wedding kicks off massive intrigue with accidental baby acquisition, Any Relationship
The thing I love about the Thrawn trilogy is how smart everyone is, and how they never pass around the idiot ball. I love Mara, how she's a bit messed up from the Emperor but even at her worst she's loyal and practical and ethical and competent, and how she's committed to growing and becoming a better person, but she's gonna do it in her own way. I love Lando because he is a deeply pragmatic and principled man (who was right to put the welfare of his citizens above that of a couple of old friends he hadn't seen in years), who will do the right thing even if it's hard, but who does his bit for the Grand Cause when necessary and then goes back to real life. And I love Luke because he is an idealist, because he always sees the good in people, and because he is kind but not stupid or bland. Winter had so much potential as Leia's oldest surviving friend, and it mostly got buried with her as a background character. Han and Leia are awesome, of course, and I'm interested to see how Lando would change their dynamics, and I'm also interested in Han and Lando's history. Do Leia and Lando work together on political negotiations/shenanigans while Han plays house-husband and swoops in with the Falcon when they need backup? Do Han and Lando go off and make shady business deals and come home to Leia with intelligence she can use politically? What's Lando been up to after the Empire was defeated? Did he go back to Cloud City and liberate it? Did he start over and drift back into semi-legal exploits? Did he get a job in the New Republic, in whatever department handles business regulation and the like? You could do curtainfic, or business shenanigans, or Dire Imperial Threat to the New Republic, or Lando and Mara providing much-needed pragmatism and outside perspectives on Luke setting up his Jedi training.
My theory of SW canon is like my theory of comics canon: pick and choose what you like and ignore the rest. You can bring in ST details if you want to, but please no Ben Solo/Kylo Ren, and please don't destroy the New Republic. From the Legends EU, please no Yuuzhan Vong, and I hated the whole "oh, of COURSE Mara couldn't ever really have been with Lando, she doesn't even LIKE him, it was ALL JUST A JOB FROM KARRDE" retcon for like a hundred different reasons.. Any PT or Clone Wars details are fine to include, if you want.

Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
Bail Organa/Breha Organa (SWPT), Medium: Fanart, Medium: Fanfiction, Arranged Marriage, Arranged Royal Marriage, betrothed as children, happy marriage / domestic, Political marriage to enemy that turns to love, Marriage As Political Tool, spouses who are frequently apart for reasons
I love what we see of Bail Organa: a deeply principled man, devoted to democracy, who doesn't see the Republic's fall soon enough but dedicates himself to overthrowing the Empire immediately and takes action when everyone else is hesitating. I wish we saw more of Queen Breha, because I imagine she must be a remarkable woman to match Bail and to raise Leia with him so that she turns out to be the incredible person we know and love. I want to see Bail and Breha as a power couple, working together. They can be in love or just really good friends, as long as they're working together to protect Alderaan and save the galaxy.

I love these two, and I want more of them. They love one another, but they also both have goals and duties that they take very seriously. I love Wakanda, and would be thrilled to see more of it and more worldbuilding about what it's like. Also, I don't like the main Avengers/Cap/Iron Man storyline from Age of Ultron onward, so feel free to either ignore it or retcon it or fix it through time travel.
For a sedoretu AU, you can bring in other characters.

Crossover Fandom
Curzon Dax (ST: DS9)/Nyota Uhura (ST: TOS), Medium: Fanfiction, Cross-Species Marriage, Interspecies wedding rituals, Marrying Late in Life, Later in life marriage
I love alien culture worldbuilding. I love boldly going and exploring and wacky science hijinks and time travel and alternate universe shenanigans. I love the hopeful attitude that we can become better than we are. I love cross-cultural romance (especially when it deals realistically with having to figure out what compromises each is going to make on what they expect out of a relationship--love is not all you need, you also need a lot of hard work and communication). Did you know that, between the time of the TOS movies and the beginning of TNG, Nyota Uhura became the head of Starfleet Intelligence? I think that's awesome. If that makes it into the story, great. If not, I think Curzon was probably a character who had a lot of fun, and I think Nyota deserves a lot of fun, too. It's interesting, we think of Curzon as an "old man", but Nyota was older than he was.

I love this show, but boy howdy do I want people to learn to deal with their shit. They all need so much therapy. If you want to deal with the various traumas, PTSD, anxieties, and other mental health issues most of them have, I would love it, but if that's not your thing that's fine too. Also, I like the shenanigans over Cylon/Human hybrid children, and my headcanon is that the reasons Cylons couldn't procreate biologically is because the Ones were lacing the water supply on Cylon ships with birth control.
When I watched Caprica, and saw that the Colonies had polygamy, I was even more disgusted with the adultery/angst of the Lee/Kara/Sam/Dee foursome. Why didn't they just all get married instead of angsting over who loved who? Of course, a poly marriage requires even more communication than a mono marriage, and they all suck at communication ... if you go that route, some angst is fine but please not too much, and don't let Kara hog the spotlight. (My two favorites in that foursome are Dee and Sam.) You could do interesting stuff on New Caprica with two on the surface and two in orbit, or you could do "dealing with the revelation that half the spouses are cylons," or you could do "how did they negotiate the arrangement to begin with" or any number of other ideas. I love Laura/Bill, how well they work together and how deeply they love one another and how, on the surface, they look like she's the emotional one and he's the stoic one, but when you get right down to it he's the one driven by emotion and she's the one who is able to set her emotions aside and think things through. I think the revelation that Tory and Galen used to be married is incredible, and wish they'd had more time to explore that either what they were like before their memories were wiped and they were dumped in the Colonies, or give them a chance to deal with all the shit after they learn the truth. (An AU where Tory didn't kill Cally would be great--what does Cally think of all this?--and/or an AU where Nicky really is Galen's and thus half-Cylon, but feel free to go with canon if you prefer.) Helo and Sharon are wonderful together, and I love their rock-solid devotion to each other and to Hera and to doing the right thing. Caprica/Tigh was so deliciously fucked up, and yet I was rooting for them to get it together and figure out what to do with each other and with a kid.

I love the worldbuilding, especially Minbari culture. I love the lighthearted teasing and genuine affection between Marcus and Stephen, and how the joke when they went undercover-as-married wasn't "lol gay" but "lol they'd drive each other nuts." (If you write Marcus/Stephen you can do "more of their undercover shenanigans" or you can do an actual marriage between them, either would be awesome.) Timov is my favorite Centauri character, and I deeply regret we didn't see more of her. I consider "To Dream in the City of Sorrows" canon and firmly believe that when Sinclair went into the past and became Valen, he found Catherine again after she was lost in time. And Sheridan doesn't deserve Delenn, but he knows it and she loves him anyway.

I love alien culture worldbuilding. I love boldly going and exploring and wacky science hijinks and time travel and alternate universe shenanigans. I love the hopeful attitude that we can become better than we are. I love cross-cultural romance (especially when it deals realistically with having to figure out what compromises each is going to make on what they expect out of a relationship--love is not all you need, you also need a lot of hard work and communication). Worldbuilding is my jam, and I love exploring cultural differences, and all of these pairings would give a lot of scope for such things if you're into that. I love Vulcan characters and exploring Vulcan culture, and if that's what we matched on, you don't have to bring in DS9 any more than just having it set in the general era. Or you could have characters serving on that Vulcan ship the DS9 characters played baseball with. Or you could have Vulcan characters where one or both spouses are serving in Starfleet during the Dominion war. I love Pon Farr, but mostly dealing with the implications of it (both before and after) and not the sex part.
For Kira/Odo, I love them both so much together or apart and just want them to be happy together in the end. For Kira/Sisko, I would imagine some really awkward thing because he's the Emissary and needs to marry a Bajoran for some reason, but if you want to go with them falling in love and it causing problems because he's the Emissary, that might be interesting too. Jadzia and Worf are such an interesting odd couple, very different and yet very deeply in love, and I always appreciated seeing them mutually adapt to one another. Jadzia and Benjamin, well, they've always been close, it would be interesting to see them close in a different way.

I love cross-cultural romance (especially when it deals realistically with having to figure out what compromises each is going to make on what they expect out of a relationship--love is not all you need, you also need a lot of hard work and communication).
I think Worf and Tasha could have had a really interesting relationship if either of them had had ANY character development in the first few seasons when Tasha was on the show. I think Worf's struggle with his heritage makes it really interesting to think about him in a relationship, because there are always cultural things to negotiate. I think Geordi was another one who didn't get much character development, but he was a great guy who would make a great spouse. I absolutely LOVE Ro Laren, she's such a contrast to the rest of them. Guinan is wonderful, but alas didn't get much chance to move beyond the Magical Negro stereotype. Any or all of these are interesting relationships that could be really fun ways to dive deeper into who these characters are.
As for plot ... it's Star Trek. If you want to play it serious and show them falling in love in between missions, go for it. But if you want to lean into the wacky tropes Star Trek was known for, that's great too. As long as everyone is in character, feel free to go as cracktastic as you want with the time travel and travel to alternate universes and weird missions.

I love cross-cultural romance (especially when it deals realistically with having to figure out what compromises each is going to make on what they expect out of a relationship--love is not all you need, you also need a lot of hard work and communication). My headcanons about Vulcans were shaped by 80s Trek novels (especially Spock's World and the Rihannsu books by Diane Duane, but also the Vulcan Academy Murders and the IDIC Epidemic by Jean Lorrah). If you know those books, great; if not, don't worry about it. (My meta about Vulcans--and some fics I've written--can be found here, you can incorporate it if you want or go a completely different direction and I will be happy either way. One thing I will point out, though, is that while there are a lot of things about Vulcan culture that seem/are sexist, the most powerful Vulcans we see throughout the series are elderly women. Discuss.) I love both Sarek and Amanda, but Sarek in particular is a terrible Dad and I'd like to know more about Amanda. I love Pon Farr, but mostly dealing with the implications of it (both before and after) and not the sex part.
