Hellboy movies (2004-2008) - John Myers

I really loved John from the first movie. He's the wholesome Boy Scout with a heart of gold who brings a bit of hope to the horrors of the world. Despite them never meeting in cannon, there's a unique dynamic between John and Prince Nuada (2nd movie) that I love seeing explored. Their personalities are polar opposites and I love seeing how John lightens Nuada.

I also love John shipped with Hellboy if that's your thing (with or without Liz). You don't have to be comics-compliant with Hellboy's character. This is the movie-verse after all and I've only read some of the comics. (Have seen the cartoons though.) In this aspect, John's the balancing force for Hellboy that keeps him reigned in and pulls him back from the darkness that people try to bring out of Hellboy.

AU ideas: what if John was around for the second movie? what if the supernatural world stayed in power instead of letting humanity rule? what if John and Nuada were BRPD coworkers or John was hired to be Nuada's handler?

Favorite tropes: enemies to lovers, soulmate aus, A/B/O, kidnapping/bodyguard scenarios, magical AUs

If you're new to the fandom, I recommend Beyond the Void by Kantayra, the fic that really kicked off this pairing (at least for me).

Valdemar by Mercedes Lackey - Tylendel, Vanyel

AU ideas: modern-day high school AU, coffee shop AU, harry potter au, pirate au

Favorite tropes: hurt/comfort, mutual pining, getting together, domesticity and found family

I adore AUs for this, where things don't go to hell in a handbasket and the boys end up in a happy relationship sans death. Or at least relatively happy. Vanyel will always find something to angst about, but please, please avoid character death.

Things from the novels that I love seeing explored: Vanyel escaping (or being rescued from) his abusive home life, Savil being a complete badass, Tylendel loving Vanyel for the broken boy that he is and filling in the cracks to make Vanyel whole again. We don't really see too much of Stefen over the course of the series so it'd be cool to see something that explores his character more.

Die Hard (movies) — John/Matt

I'm a fan of John/Matt or for non-slash, general John and Matt (and others) teaming up to take down the bad guy of the day.

AU ideas: superhero au, supernatural au, tie ins with Marvel and Teen Wolf are cool

Favorite tropes: BAMF couple, friends to lovers, domesticity and curtain fic, kidnapping/bodyguard scenarios

I'm open to pretty much anything here (as long as there's a happy ending). I like seeing John and Matt pick up the pieces of their lives after the firesale. I adore stories where they have to move in together for some reason, or where John rescues Matt from some new crisis, or Matt bringing John up to speed on the digital age.

Ocean's Eleven (Trilogy) - Rusty/Linus or Danny/Rusty/Linus

Ocean's Eleven is one of the snappiest movies I've ever watched. I love the character interactions - both the spoken dialogue and the unspoken ways they play off of each other. I love the way Linus is viewed as the rookie though he's actually pretty skilled. I like the way Danny and Rusty take Linus under their wing.

If slash isn't your interest, I love a good heist or just the crew being friends/found family together.

AU ideas: soulmark AU, A/B/O, different first meetings, sci fi AU

Favorite tropes: heists, found family, domesticity, getting together, panic attacks/PTSD/anxiety and recovery, sickfic

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen — Quartermain/Sawyer

For this pairing, I love explorations of the May/December romance between the two. Or if slash isn't your jam, just general mentor/mentee learning about the weird world that they're pitted against.

AU ideas: FBI au, soulmate au, harry potter au

Favorite tropes: case fic, getting together, found family, mysteries, recovering from grief/tragedy

Maybe Tom and Alan were sort of a thing during the movies, and then Alan dies and Tom is grieving, and then Alan comes back? Adventure fic with the League, complete AU, whatever strikes your fancy works for me. Side Dorian Grey/Huckleberry Finn would be amazeballs.

The Art of Murder by Josh Lanyon - Sam/Jason

I looooove Josh Lanyon's books, especially the way they intertwine, so feel free to bring in characters from any of the related series if that's your jam. (All's Fair, Winter Kill, etc)

Sam and Jason have an interesting relationship. Jason is so open and expressive, while Sam's neurodivergence makes him play close to the vest. Despite his seeming coldness, Sam is absolutely head over heels for Jason.

I'd be interested in seeing something set between the books or some canon divergence. Maybe their vacation at Sam's mother's ranch? Sam showing up at Jason's birthday party? Sam helping Jason through his panic/anxiety over being stalked? Really anything with these two will make me happy.

Favorite tropes: courtship, domesticity, hurt/comfort, sickfic, casefic, stranged together
