I love the two ridiculously competent compassionate people saving the world and loving each other fiercely. I also love all aspects of weddings, wedding planning, and celebrating love and marriage so really you cannot go wrong. I'd love a story about Mel and Harry's actual wedding and honeymoon, or one where someone's wedding factors in to the equalizing job of the week. I'm also excited for any kind of slice of life fluff for them because they both really deserve a happy day to celebrate and reconnect after all they've been through.

Feel free to include other canonical characters as needed. I truly love everyone in this cast.

I love treats and have left the extra gifts setting on!

DNW: rape/noncon/dubcon; character death (mortally wounding the villians is fine, references to Harry's canonical faked death are also okay, but do not actually kill him or Mel); alcohol and drug use

I would love an expansion of their wedding or wedding planning process, a peek into their honeymoon and its logistics, or just a happy slice of married life.

I just love this movie so much, and these three in particular. My favorite aspect is by far the sheer competency involved, so anything that plays with some of these tropes/display how competent they are will absolutely delight me; and even more so if you compare and contrast to how inept they can be on the emotional side (cough Debbie especially cough). Feel free to go for backstory or post-movie for all of these

Debbie/Lou: I'm a sucker for a partnership that just Gets Each Other and that's them in a nutshell. I love love love the way they work together, don't even need to talk most of the time, and trust each other implicitly no matter what. Marriage as a con is an excellent trope and will be super fun no matter the direction, but I'd also love it if the fake marriage in question kind of made them (or, lbr, Debbie, because Lou is a lot more self-aware and emotionally intelligent lmfao) realize that hey, they are already kinda married. Outside of fake marriage tropes, I am At All Times Thinking about the "is this a proposal?" "baby I don't have a diamond yet" exchange, so the idea of these two constantly having a proposal running joke going until they start to realize that hey, maybe they don't want it to be a joke is just <333 Also, the very thought of Debbie Ocean, criminal mastermind who just Has To Make Everything Insanely Elaborate, trying to plan a proposal is just... lowkey terrifying and I for one would like to see it

Debbie/Tammy: look. that scene in Tammy's garage. You know what I'm talking about. I love Tammy and Debbie's dynamic /so/ much, because it's a little sharper than Debbie/Lou — there's definitely some manipulation at times but also they're both acutely aware of it and kind of super into it lmao. I could see them posing as married couples or having to get married at different times, partly for the con, and partly just to try and throw off the other

General likes: hurt/comfort, character studies and exploration, worldbuilding, time loops, amnesia, altered mental states, canon divergences, characters who hate vulnerability/hide under a cheerful exterior being in too much pain/too hurt/too out of it to hold on to their mask and being uncharacteristically honest, highly competent characters doing what they're best at, characters who carry a lot of guilt/trauma finding comfort in each other, extremely competent characters who are /so/ terrible at feelings/emotions/talking about feelings

Spydoc: Listen, I just think the "married to your worst enemy" thing is just.... always gold. I love when they are both sulky about it/making a big show of how terrible this is, but i could also see one of them trying to antagonize the other with it, or a case where they're forced to work together and go along with it to avoid something even worse happening (maybe one of the Master's scheme has Once Again turned against him lol) so feel free to go for whatever scenario you think is best. These two are just... they hate each other, they define each other, they can't stand to be in the same room, they gravitate towards each other, they keep trying to kill each other except somehow it always comes across as flirting,,,,, So anything that plays with that will be *chef's kiss*.
Alternatively, feel free to set this in the O era! Whether 13 is from the correct era and doesn't realize who he is /or/ comes from the future and is painfully aware of it but forced to play along for the sake of the timeline, I feel like there's a lot of potential

13/Jack: I'm just seeing a Lot of comedy potential here ngl; Jack playing it up, 13 making a show of rolling her eyes constantly... But then there's also the deeper side of their relationship, between Jack's (very justified) abandonment issues regarding the Doctor, and the fact that Jack is capable of reading 13 in a way very few people are, and how that unsettles 13 to the point where she might lash out.... lots of fun possibilities there imo

Hawkeye (TV 2021)
Mediums:

• Medium: Fanfiction

Relationships:

• Yelena Belova/Kate Bishop (Hawkeye TV)

Freeforms:

• Accidental Engagement - Joke Marriage Proposal on TV Mistaken As Real by the Press
• Fake Marriage - Practical Joke Results in Pretending to be Married
• Accidental Marriage - Joke Marriage Ended Up Being Legally Binding
• Engagement - Acts Like Engagement was Accidental but Knew Exactly What They Were Doing
• Accidental Engagement - Didn't Know Item Was Traditional Betrothal Gift
• Proposal - During Battle
• Fake Marriage - For the Sake of the Mission
• Proposal - Joke Proposal Taken Seriously
• Secret Marriage

These two are everything to me. There's a comedy level, where Yelena is just... so good at getting a rise out of Kate and clearly enjoys it a whole of a lot, which imo fits very well with fake marriage tropes, and Kate's ability to be an excellent "Yes, and..." partner, which means they might end up in an even more elaborate situation than either of them could have predicted/wanted
And then there's also an angstier level, where Yelena /does/ have a lot of issues around honesty and processing emotions, to say nothing of actually expressing them. Kate is really good at listening, and she gives Yelena space, but she is also a lot more open, which can throw Yelena for a loop, and I do love the bittersweet vibe that comes from these interactions a lot
