Diana Prince/Steve Trevor
I love that they're both competent, but that Diana really got to shine as a badass - and that Steve, despite the attitudes of his time period, was impressed by her. Diana is so determined and forthright, but the culture clash and her mostly-theoretical knowledge means she starts off quite naive and has to learn how to deal with the complexities of the wider world. Steve is trying hard to be a good man and make a difference, but he's clearly seen terrible things during the war and he has to be haunted by them.
They make such a good team, both as adventurers and as a couple, and I'd love to see them in a healthy established relationship. Feel free to do a canon divergence AU where Steve survives the first film, or else find some other way for them to be together and stay together. I just want him to suffer prettily while Diana looks after him.
Prompts for Hurt Steve:
Angst
Reincarnation - Steve gets reincarnated, meets Diana again, she tells him everything... and he doesn't remember her. She can prove it's true, he absolutely believes her - so he's left with the knowledge that she's meant to be his soulmate, and there's a whole piece of him missing. (Until his memories come back after all!)
Pining - Or maybe he gets reincarnated, and keeps having these dreams about Diana. He knows she's his soulmate - but he doesn't know who she is, or how to find her, and he's tortured by the idea that he never will. Or same scenario, but instead of being reincarnated, he was injured and now has amnesia. He knows he needs to find this woman - but until he does, it feels like a piece of him is missing.
War Trauma - The things he saw, maybe even the things he did, horrify Steve. And he doesn't know how to let go of them, how to stop them taking over his thoughts, maybe even giving him flashbacks. Diana gently helps him heal.
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, could be some kind of magic thing, but Steve spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Diana is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Diana is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Steve! Could be about the horrors of war, or a dream about dying (again), or whatever. I just want him to wake up devastated and need Diana to comfort him.
Injury - Steve gets injured during an adventure. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. And Diana looks after him as he recovers. Maybe has to look after him in the field, helping him get to safety, helping him walk - or picking him up and carrying him?
Sickfic
Flu - Steve's so sick he can't even stand up. He's too exhausted, in too much pain, all he can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe he even needs Diana to feed him, lifting a spoon to his mouth. Or help him drink with a straw.
Magical Illness - As above, but with the added worry that they don't exactly know what it is. Of course, they figure out a cure. But not before Steve gets some good suffering out of it.
Injury - Steve survived the first film. Maybe via some kind of soulmate magic protected him, maybe it's an AU where the film had a different problem at the end (and you can be very vague about what that problem was). But he was severely injured, and it's going to take him a long time to recover. General injuries across his body, general exhaustion, maybe specifically injured legs that mean he can't walk with Diana's help? He knows he'll heal eventually... but dealing with it (emotionally, practically) is so hard in the meantime. But kind Diana is there to be gentle with him. Maybe they even get a little cottage so he can rest in peace and quiet?
Whump
Beaten Up - Bad guys get their hands on Steve and beat him up. Bruises galore, maybe even cracked ribs, absolute agony all over... Everything will heal with no scars eventually. Eventually. Until then - Pain. So much pain.
Injuryless Torture - I didn't request Graphic Torture because I can't do the kinds that involve gore, but I love the kind where the torture is some kind of psychic/scifi thing which causes extreme pain without leaving any trace on the body. Turn that thing up to the max and make Steve scream!
Alice Chambers/Frank Carlson
I loved the mindfuckery aspects of this film, and Frank was so compellingly creepy that I both wanted to run away and couldn't take my eyes off him. Their intellectual rivalry and mind games, with Frank daring Alice to work out what's really going on, sparked such good chemistry between them, and I'd love to see more in that vein - or maybe Frank alters Alice's memory to keep her unknowing and compliant. If you want to do smut, I'm happy for it to be anywhere from noncon to dubcon to fully consensual (if maybe conflicted and/or filled with shame).
I'm fine with a missing scene, or with canon divergence (Frank lives and Alice remains his prisoner in Victory; Alice goes for a final showdown with Frank; etc.) Considering the nature of the relationships in this canon, I have no problem with either Alice or Frank "cheating" on their partners. Also happy for Alice/Jack and Frank/Shelley to be happening in the background. Jack can be alive or dead (or you can kill him off again, if you're doing an AU) but if Shelley exists I want her to survive. (Maybe Shelley escapes instead, and Frank decides to claim Alice in her place?)
Prompts for Hurt Alice:
Angst
Hallucinations - She already has hallucinations in canon, but more of that. More often, more intense. No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Alice! Just warp her brain until she's no longer even sure what's real - but she knows something's very wrong. (Maybe Frank is even the hallucination, following her into the real world... She's escaped Victory, but she can never escape him.)
Kept Captive Forever - Villain wins AU, where Alice never manages to escape, and Frank keeps her captive forever. She knows she's never getting out, she's never returning to her old life - she's stuck as his prisoner forever, totally in his power, his to do as he wishes. And his gentle murmurs that this life is wonderful, that she'll be happy in Victory, don't diminish her horror.
Forced Pregnancy - Frank impregnates captive Alice in the real world. Now she has his child growing inside her, and her body's no longer her own. And she knows, at some point, she's going to have to give birth... And none of Frank's sweet, happy reassurance helps at all. In fact, it just makes it worse.
Killing Jack - Maybe she didn't mean to kill him, maybe she didn't realise killing him in Victory would kill Jack in real life. But Alice killed Jack. And her head is still full of all these conflicting memories, of Jack being a horrible person, of Jack being the husband she loved... Does Frank blame her for it, or does he gently comfort her and tell her it wasn't her fault - which maybe doesn't help at all?
Hurt/Comfort
Nightmares - This already happens a little in canon, but more so. Nightmares about being trapped in Victory, nightmares about what Frank might do to her, nightmares about having killed Jack... No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Alice! And Frank gently comforts her, whether she wants him to or not.
Memory Alteration Process - We saw a little bit of Alice being reset, but is that what having new memories inserted is like? Maybe it's painful in a different way, and Frank stays with her through it, gently holding her hand and comforting her... as he strips away all she is and remakes her as his fantasy.
Nausea - Could be an illness, could be a hangover, could be morning sickness, could be Frank's just turned the nausea setting on for her... But Alice spends hours feeling like she's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Frank is there to rub her back and stroke her hair, whether she wants him to or not.
Vomiting - Or maybe she does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Frank fed her poison maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, her stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Frank is there to rub her back and stroke her hair, whether she wants him to or not.
Rape
Frank nonconning Alice. Maybe he's gentle about it, treating her like a lover - maybe she even comes, and feels ashamed. Maybe he's rougher - holding her down, pinning her against a wall, forcing her legs open? But he intimately violates her. (Omega Alice/alpha Frank could work here too, with all the extra tropes that brings.) Maybe he gently - but not necessarily sincerely - comforts her afterwards too, and that just makes it worse.
Doric/Xenk Yendar
We don't really get any focused moments between these two in the film, but Doric actually seems like the least hostile to Xenk from the beginning - ironic considering her stance on humans started as "hateful and selfish" and "just can't help but lie"... but then Xenk and his ridiculous paladin goodness are so obviously the opposite of that! If Xenk joined the party for further adventures, I like to imagine they'd become good friends, and then fall in love (maybe after mutually pining). Or maybe just gently looking after each other during a dubcon scenario.
I love Doric's combination of a sharp tongue with her moral integrity and intense environmental concern, and how that contrasts and blends with Xenk's stern intensity, his awkward ways, and his own intense sense of justice and goodness. They're both visibly outsiders in ways the others aren't, so maybe they would have a natural understanding - or they'd bond over the angst of losing their families because of it. And between their outsider status and Xenk's sense of duty, I tend to imagine they're both virgins.
(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)
Angst
Family Abandonment - Just because Doric's open about being abandoned by her parents, doesn't mean she's not still wounded by it. She may have found a family/community among the wood elves, but that kind of rejection would be hugely traumatic - especially considering the general hatred of tieflings that she must run into all the time. (Feel free to incorporate anti-tiefling prejudice into this idea!)
Pining - Pining so bad she aches with it! Pining so bad she feels like she can't breathe! Maybe Doric's convinced herself that Xenk doesn't experience attraction, or that his vows mean he can never be with anyone, and therefore her feelings are hopeless. (The attraction is secretly mutual, but Doric doesn't know that.)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness, could be morning sickness. But Doric spends hours feeling like she's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Xenk is there to rub her back and stroke her hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe she does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, her stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Xenk is there to rub her back and stroke her hair.
Injury - Doric gets injured during an adventure. Nothing that's actually going to kill her, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. Maybe Xenk can heal her up with magic, but maybe he's run out of spells or been cuffed (imprisoned?), and can only comfort her. Maybe has to help her get to safety, helping her walk - or picking her up and carrying her?
Stabbing Injury - A specific type of injury I'd love to see! Doric gets stabbed in the gut.
Arrow Wound - Another specific scenario I love! Doric gets shot with an arrow, in the stomach or the chest, and Xenk has to gently ease the arrow out before healing her with magic.
Omegaverse Heat - Okay, hear me out: omega Doric has a painful heat, and fucking would get rid of the pain, and they're both attracted to each other. But they don't fuck. Haven't confessed feelings yet? Alpha Xenk can't trust Doric's consent because she gave it after the heat started? One or both of them are virgins and not ready to have sex? Whatever reason, Doric's just got to struggle on through it - with Xenk comforting her, holding her close, letting Doric inhale his scent... For hours. Also love the trope where omegas find a hand on the back of their neck instinctively really calming. (Similar to scruffing I guess?) And maybe Xenk uses that also?
Sickfic
Flu - Doric is so sick she can't even stand up. She's too exhausted, in too much pain, all she can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe she even needs Xenk to feed her, lifting a spoon to her mouth.
Magical Illness - As above, but it's caused by magic. Maybe by a curse or an artifact the party found in a dungeon? But Doric is sick, and Xenk gently looks after her while they find a cure.
Hanahaki - Pining, now in physical flower form! A confession will instantly cure her... but until then, coughing up petals and chest aches and slowly losing energy, worrying it might kill her. (Maybe hanahaki is rare, and they don't even realise what it means at first?)
Angst
Beckoning Death - Anything about the Beckoning Death! Being haunted by losing his family, losing his entire country, needing to live as an exile. Worrying that one day the curse will take control of him, and he'll become Szass Tam's puppet. Seeing himself as less than a person, worrying that the curse has taken part of his soul, and the only way to earn his own existence is being by the most paladin to ever paladin. (Not true, of course, but he might have convinced himself it is.) Could also tie into anti-Thayan prejudice, and how being visibly marked as partially undead means he can never escape it - and maybe always wanting to convince people there are good Thayans, but also feeling like his undead status means they're kind of right to fear him?
Paladin Duty - Maybe Xenk has convinced himself that his paladin duty means he can never be with anyone, and it takes a lot of angsting before he realises he can. (Or Doric convinces him, or another paladin does.) Could also be combined with feeling like he needs to be perfect, but simultaneously struggling with the way people place him on a pedestal - feeling like they see an ideal, not the man he really is, and knowing that image is going to shatter when he starts being awkward at them.
Pining - Pining so bad he aches with it! Pining so bad he feels like he can't breathe! Maybe because of his duty or his curse, but maybe he's just convinced Doric would never be interested in him. (The attraction is secretly mutual, but Xenk doesn't know that.)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, could be some magical thing, but Xenk spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Doric is there to rub his back and murmur reassurance.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Doric is there to rub his back and murmur reassurance
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Xenk! Maybe a trauma flashback to the Beckoning Death, or something he's seen as a paladin, or a dream about the Red Wizards capturing him, or about his curse taking control of him. I just want Xenk to wake up devastated and need Doric to comfort him. Could be an Only One Bed scenario, Doric on watch while they're camping, or bedsharing in an established relationship.
Injury - Xenk gets injured during an adventure. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. Maybe he's run out of spells or been cuffed (imprisoned?), and needs Doric to comfort him. Maybe Doric has to help Xenk get to safety, helping him walk - or turning into an owlbear and carrying him?
Omegaverse Heat - Okay, hear me out: omega Xenk has a painful heat, and fucking would get rid of the pain, and they're both attracted to each other. But they don't fuck. Haven't confessed feelings yet? Alpha Doric can't trust Xenk's consent because he gave it after the heat started? One or both of them are virgins and not ready to have sex?

Whump
Beaten Up - Bad guys get their hands on Xenk and beat him up. Bruises galore, maybe even cracked ribs, absolute agony all over... Eventually his magic will recharge and he can heal himself. Until then - Pain. So much pain.
Injuryless Torture - I didn't request Graphic Torture because I can't do the kinds that involve gore, but I love the kind where the torture is some kind of psychic/magical thing which causes extreme pain without leaving any trace on the body. Turn that thing up to the max and make Xenk scream!
Edgin Darvis/Xenk Yendar
I have so many feelings about these two. I love their banter and how they spark off each other, how Edgin sees Xenk as an enemy but then grows to respect him and doesn't want him to leave, how Xenk is frustrated with Edgin's criminal tendencies but fully believes in his goodness and is determined to draw it out... Making Edgin swear on the Harper's seal, then tenderly touching his hand? In fact, all of the hand-holding, and the offers of hand-holding. I'd love to see how their relationship develops after the film, with a softer friendship blossoming into romance. (And more touching. Lots of touching. And banter.)
These two are so good for mutual pining. Maybe Xenk thinks he can't be with anyone because of his duty as a paladin, or because the Beckoning Death has left him cursed, partially undead, lacking part of his soul, etc. Maybe Edgin finds out Xenk is a virgin and assumes the guy isn't interested in sex at all. (I do headcanon Xenk as a virgin.) Or Edgin thinks Xenk's too noble and pure to want a criminal like him, or thinks Xenk wants someone more serious or more intellectual. Xenk thinking Edgin's too charming and sociable to want someone as awkward and unbending as him... I love the angsty possibilities of all this, the two of them keeping their feelings secret even as they're practically bursting with longing. Especially as both of them are so touchy-feely! They must be torturing each other.
Angst
Zia Guilt - Edgin may have given up the chance to resurrect Zia, but that doesn't mean he's dealt with his guilt over her death. It's steered every aspect of his life for so long - just because he's decided to move on, doesn't make it easy to leave all that pain behind. Especially as choosing, or wanting, to be with Xenk could add a whole new kind of guilt to his angst over Zia! (Fatherly guilt over failing Kira could be part of this too.)
Pining - Pining so bad he aches with it! Pining so bad he feels like he can't breathe! Maybe Edgin's convinced himself that Xenk doesn't experience attraction, or that his vows mean he can never be with anyone, and therefore his feelings are hopeless. (The attraction is secretly mutual, but Edgin doesn't know that.)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, could be some magical thing, but Edgin spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Xenk is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.

Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Edgin! Maybe a trauma flashback to losing Zia, or about being separated from Kira. I just want him to wake up devastated and need Xenk to comfort him. Could be an Only One Bed scenario, Xenk on watch while they're camping, or bedsharing in an established relationship.
Injury - Edgin gets injured during an adventure. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. Maybe Xenk can heal him up with magic, but maybe he's run out of spells or been cuffed (imprisoned?), and can only comfort Edgin.

Edgin Darvis/Zia Darvis/Xenk Yendar
I really like the idea of Edgin getting to be happy with Zia but also with Xenk, and Zia and Xenk being happy together too. So... AU where she never dies? Maybe Edgin stays a Harper and ends up working with Xenk, and they get closer, resulting in Xenk being drawn into the established marriage?
Edgin seemed a lot softer before Zia's death - and maybe less prone to hiding his feelings - and Zia seemed very sweet and understanding, and I'd love to see what kind of dynamic they develop with kind but serious Xenk. Maybe this could take place in the cottage at Targos, either as established relationship, or Edgin bringing Xenk home after he gets whumped. Or maybe it could happen while they're on the run from the Red Wizards, or while adventuring?

Beaten Up - Bad guys get their hands on Xenk and beat him up. Bruises galore, maybe even cracked ribs, absolute agony all over... Eventually his magic will recharge and he can heal himself. Until then - Pain. So much pain.
Injuryless Torture - I didn't request Graphic Torture because I can't do the kinds that involve gore, but I love the kind where the torture is some kind of psychic/magical thing which causes extreme pain without leaving any trace on the body. Turn that thing up to the max and make Xenk scream!
Simon Aumar/Doric
I love how soft Simon gets around Doric and I'd love to see her showing a softer side to him in return. (I do love Doric's spikiness though.) And I love that over the course of the film, she was very interested every time Simon's competency was shown or discussed - she was always into him, she just had this one dealbreaker, and then he fixed it! (Well, maybe he didn't entirely fix it: I love Simon having more confidence, but it might be nice to see him struggle a little - with Doric encouraging him, now she's convinced of his capability.) Does Doric have a competency kink?
Both of them have angsty pasts: Doric as a tiefling rejected by her parents, who's visibly an outsider wherever she goes; Simon as a sorcerer trying to live up to his family's long legacy of wizardry. Plus, as a half-elf, wherever he was raised, he was probably too human for the elves and too elven for the humans. As they get to know each other better, it'd be great to see them open up to each other about these things.
Maybe their courting is awkward at first, possibly hampered by Simon's tendency to break things or fall over, but I absolutely believe they're a good match and would love to see a happy relationship grow between them.
Angst
Family Abandonment - Just because Doric's open about being abandoned by her parents, doesn't mean she's not still wounded by it. She may have found a family/community among the wood elves, but that kind of rejection would be hugely traumatic - especially considering the general hatred of tieflings that she must run into all the time. (Feel free to incorporate anti-tiefling prejudice into this idea!)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness, could be morning sickness. But Doric spends hours feeling like she's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Simon is there to rub her back and stroke her hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe she does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, her stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Simon is there to rub her back and stroke her hair.
Injury - Doric gets injured during an adventure. Nothing that's actually going to kill her, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. And Simon looks after her as she recovers. Maybe has to look after her in the field, helping her get to safety, helping her walk?
Sickfic
Flu - Doric is so sick she can't even stand up. She's too exhausted, in too much pain, all she can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe she even needs Simon to feed her, lifting a spoon to her mouth.
Magical Illness - As above, but it's caused by magic. Maybe by a curse or an artifact the party found in a dungeon? But Doric is sick, and Simon gently looks after her while they find a cure.
Angst
Aumar Legacy - Simon's angst over being a rubbish sorcerer seems partly tied to being descended from one of the most powerful, most famous wizards ever. I like the idea that he's also the only sorcerer in an entire family of wizards: surrounded by people who have a different kind of magic, who are good at it, and who don't understand why he can't just do what they do. And growing up like that has given him a complex that's hard to shift. Especially when he runs into one of them, or people start asking about his surname.
Self-Esteem Issues - More general self-esteem angst than the above. Simon's doing better than he was, and that's why Doric said he could court her again - but maybe that conditional agreement means he now feels like he can't bring his worries up to her at all? Even if they're legitimate? (I think she'd be softer with him than he expects... but he'd have to crack first.)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, could be some magical thing, but Simon spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Doric is there to rub his back and murmur reassurance.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Doric is there to rub his back and murmur reassurance.
Injury - Simon gets injured during an adventure. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. And Doric looks after him as he recovers. Maybe has to help Simon get to safety, helping him walk - or turning into an owlbear and carrying him?
Sickfic
Flu - Simon's so sick he can't even stand up. He's too exhausted, in too much pain, all he can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe he even needs Doric to feed him, lifting a spoon to his mouth.
Magical Illness - As above, but it's caused by magic. Maybe by a curse or an artifact the party found in a dungeon? But Simon is sick, and Doric gently looks after him while they find a cure.
Simon Aumar/Edgin Darvis
I love how Edgin is absolutely convinced of Simon's potential badassery (he has a mental list of all the times Simon's magic worked!) and how he's determined to make Simon believe it too - and this, for some reason, involves touching Simon's face a lot. Simon is awkward and sulky in the face of this, even though he's perfectly willing to trust Edgin and follow his lead in other areas - maybe Simon is pining, and can't let himself believe that Edgin cares about him, or is worried about opening his heart? Depending on the situation, maybe Edgin feels too weird about the age difference, and doesn't want to take advantage of Simon... until something pushes them together.
(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)
Prompts for Hurt Simon:
Angst
Aumar Legacy - Simon's angst over being a rubbish sorcerer seems partly tied to being descended from one of the most powerful, most famous wizards ever. I like the idea that he's also the only sorcerer in an entire family of wizards: surrounded by people who have a different kind of magic, who are good at it, and who don't understand why he can't just do what they do. And growing up like that has given him a complex that's hard to shift. Especially when he runs into one of them, or people start asking about his surname.
Self-Esteem Issues - More general self-esteem angst than the above. Simon's doing better than he was, but maybe he still struggles with it - or you could set this pre-Korinn's Keep, with an eager Edgin trying to encourage a younger Simon who hasn't had a breakthrough yet! Could also tie into pining below, but could just be about feeling like he's bad at magic, awkward with people, not attractive, just generally inadequate at everything... Maybe Edgin can convince him none of it's true?
Pining - Pining so bad he aches with it! Pining so bad he feels like she can't breathe! Maybe Simon's convinced himself that someone like Edgin would never look at him twice, and therefore his feelings are hopeless. (The attraction is secretly mutual, but Simon doesn't know that.)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, could be some magical thing, but Simon spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Edgin is there to rub his back and try to cheer him up.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture...

Injury - Simon gets injured during an adventure. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. And Edgin looks after him as he recovers. Maybe has to help Simon get to safety, helping him walk?
Omegaverse Heat - Okay, hear me out: omega Simon has a painful heat, and fucking would get rid of the pain, and they're both attracted to each other. But they don't fuck. Haven't confessed feelings yet? Alpha Edgin can't trust Simon's consent because he gave it after the heat started? Simon is a virgin and not ready to have sex? Whatever reason, Simon's just got to struggle on through it - with Edgin comforting him, holding him close, letting Simon inhale his scent... For hours. Also love the trope where omegas find a hand on the back of their neck instinctively really calming. (Similar to scruffing I guess?) And maybe Edgin uses that also?
Sickfic
Flu - Simon's so sick he can't even stand up. He's too exhausted, in too much pain, all he can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe he even needs Edgin to feed him, lifting a spoon to his mouth.
Magical Illness - As above, but it's caused by magic. Maybe by a curse or an artifact the party found in a dungeon? But Simon is sick, and Edgin looks after him while they find a cure.
Hanahaki - Pining, now in physical flower form! A confession will instantly cure him... but until then, coughing up petals and chest aches and slowly losing energy, worrying it might kill him. (Maybe hanahaki is rare, and they don't even realise what it means at first?)
Simon Aumar/Xenk Yendar
In the film, Simon mostly seems to get on Xenk's nerves (being sarcastic! destroying the bridge!) but he's not doing it on purpose and I really think if they spent more time together they could become good friends - and then fall in love. Despite his initial jealousy, Simon is eager for Xenk to stay at the end. Under his sarcasm, his awkwardness, and his occasional sulkiness, Simon is rather sweet and kinda adorable. And once you see past his stern manner and paladin morals, Xenk is kind and actually sorta awkward too.
I like the idea that they're both a bit dorky, deeply interested in niche subjects, in a way none of the others understand. But I think they could find some common ground. But maybe Simon worries that Xenk doesn't like him, or doesn't respect him? And Xenk isn't great at social interaction, so he might not realise Simon feels that way, or might not know how to explain that he actually does care.
(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)

Self-Esteem Issues - More general self-esteem angst than the above. Simon's doing better than he was, but ridiculously perfect Xenk might bring it out of him again. Could tie into pining below, but could just be about feeling like he's bad at magic, awkward with people, not attractive, just generally inadequate at everything... Maybe Xenk can convince him none of it's true?
Pining - Pining so bad he aches with it! Pining so bad he feels like she can't breathe! Maybe Simon's convinced himself that Xenk doesn't experience attraction, or that his vows mean he can never be with anyone, and therefore his feelings are hopeless. (The attraction is secretly mutual, but Simon doesn't know that.)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, could be some magical thing, but Simon spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Xenk is there to rub his back and gently murmur reassurance.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Xenk is there to rub his back and gently murmur reassurance.
Injury - Simon gets injured during an adventure. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. Maybe Xenk can heal him up with magic, but maybe he's run out of spells or been cuffed (imprisoned?), and can only comfort Simon. Maybe Xenk has to help Simon get to safety, helping him walk - or picking him up and carrying him?
Stabbing Injury - A specific type of injury I'd love to see! Simon gets stabbed in the gut.
Arrow Wound - Another specific scenario I love! Simon gets shot with an arrow, in the stomach or the chest, and Xenk has to gently ease the arrow out before healing him with magic.
Omegaverse Heat - Okay, hear me out: omega Simon has a painful heat, and fucking would get rid of the pain, and they're both attracted to each other. But they don't fuck. Haven't confessed feelings yet? Alpha Xenk can't trust Simon's consent because he gave it after the heat started? One or both of them are virgins and not ready to have sex?

Angst
Beckoning Death - Anything about the Beckoning Death! Being haunted by losing his family, losing his entire country, needing to live as an exile. Worrying that one day the curse will take control of him, and he'll become Szass Tam's puppet. Seeing himself as less than a person, worrying that the curse has taken part of his soul, and the only way to earn his own existence is being by the most paladin to ever paladin. (Not true, of course, but he might have convinced himself it is.) Could also tie into anti-Thayan prejudice, and how being visibly marked as partially undead means he can never escape it - and maybe always wanting to convince people there are good Thayans, but also feeling like his undead status means they're kind of right to fear him?
Paladin Duty - Maybe Xenk has convinced himself that his paladin duty means he can never be with anyone, and it takes a lot of angsting before he realises he can. (Or Simon convinces him, or another paladin does.) Could also be combined with feeling like he needs to be perfect, but simultaneously struggling with the way people place him on a pedestal - feeling like they see an ideal, not the man he really is, and knowing that image is going to shatter when he starts being awkward at them.
Pining - Pining so bad he aches with it! Pining so bad he feels like he can't breathe! Maybe because of his duty or his curse, but maybe he's just convinced Simon would never be interested in him. (The attraction is secretly mutual, but Xenk doesn't know that.)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, could be some magical thing, but Xenk spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Simon is there to rub his back and awkwardly murmur reassurance.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Simon is there to rub his back and awkwardly murmur reassurance
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Xenk! Maybe a trauma flashback to the Beckoning Death, or something he's seen as a paladin, or a dream about the Red Wizards capturing him, or about his curse taking control of him. I just want Xenk to wake up devastated and need Simon to comfort him. Could be an Only One Bed scenario, Simon on watch while they're camping, or bedsharing in an established relationship.
Injury - Xenk gets injured during an adventure. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. Maybe he's run out of spells or been cuffed (imprisoned?), and needs Simon to comfort him. Maybe Simon has to help Xenk get to safety, helping him walk?
Omegaverse Heat - Okay, hear me out: omega Xenk has a painful heat, and fucking would get rid of the pain, and they're both attracted to each other. But they don't fuck.

Nicholas Devereaux/Mia Thermopolis
This is such a great example of enemies to lovers. I love that they're kind and flirty at their first meeting, because they're immediately attracted to each other, and that even once they're enemies they can't hide that sexual tension. But their enmity is based on both seeking something only one of them can have rather than ideological differences: Nicholas seems more motivated by whether Mia's going to be a good queen and whether she really knows Genovia (and by his uncle's influence), and not a personal hunger for power. So once he's convinced of her capability (and she of his sincerity) and he gives up his claim to the crown, there's no question about whether they'd be able to find common ground.
I love both the push-and-pull of Nicholas flirting and Mia trying to resist (in the closet, by the fountain, the deleted scene in the kitchen) as well as them being soft and friendly with each other: Nicholas supporting Mia by helping with her archery, and the night they spend together before her wedding where we see them opening up emotionally, dancing close, and falling asleep in each other's arms. So I'd love a post-canon continuation of that as their relationship develops, or is fully established.
I liked Andrew as a character so no bashing of him please, and it's fine to have Mia/Andrew's unromantic engagement happening in the background or to show them amicably breaking up. Also happy for Clarisse/Joe to be in the background, or for Lilly to visit again. Or cute appearances by Fat Louie the cat or Maurice the dog!
Angst
Press Intrusion - The media are really scrutinising Mia at the moment, and she's finding it very tough. All the angst about needing to (appear to) be perfect, 100% of the time, and the psychological toll that has. The worries about what happens if she fails. The worries about whether needing to present this perfect image is negatively affecting her relationship with Nicholas, changing her behaviour for the worse, or whether he'll find dealing with the press too difficult and break up with her. (It isn't, and it won't. But she worries - until he reassures her.) I love the trope of people needing to present a public mask and how they can only let their guard down in private - and how difficult it might be to operate like that.
Hurt/Comfort
Ankle Injury - Mia has a clumsy moment and twists her ankle. It hurts to walk on, and she needs Nicholas's help to get around - maybe he even picks her up and carries her. Maybe it happens in the middle of a royal event, and she doesn't want people to know she's hurt - so Nicholas helps her hide it, secretly comforting her. Maybe it's so painful she can't walk on it at all and has to stay lying down, with Nicholas gently comforting her in bed - with cuddles, by stroking her hair, or maybe by cooking something delicious for her?
Nausea - Could be seasickness, could be morning sickness. But Mia spends hours feeling like she's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Nicholas is there to rub her back and stroke her hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe she does throw up. Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, her stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Nicholas is there to rub her back, and hold her hair back/gently stroke it.
Sickfic
Flu - Mia's so sick she can't even stand up. She's too exhausted, in too much pain, all she can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe she even needs Nicholas to feed her, lifting a spoon to her mouth. Or help her drink with a straw. Maybe her hair needs washing, and she has just enough energy to kneel over the bath while Nicholas washes it for her?
Migraine - Mia gets a horrible migraine and has to go lie down in the dark. Maybe it's just pain, maybe she's got nausea, visual symptoms, or neurological symptoms. But she feels absolutely shit. Nicholas sits with her, providing cuddles or stroking her hair, or maybe quietly reading to her? Maybe he bakes something lovely for her to eat as the symptoms are easing off?
Angst
Mabrey - Nicholas could have so much angst in the wake of Mabrey's betrayal. He's now estranged from the person who (seemingly) raised him, and taking Mabrey back would only open Nicholas up to more hurt. Is he questioning whether every affectionate gesture was ever real? Worrying about what kind of man Mabrey might have made him into, what blindspots Mabrey instilled, questioning whether he's being cruel to Mia (or others) because he doesn't realise it'll hurt them? Regretting all the things he did as part of the plot to become king? Worrying that he won't be a good father, that he'll emulate Mabrey in ways he doesn't intend, that he doesn't know what a healthy relationship with a child looks like? (Nicholas clearly is a good, caring man... that doesn't mean he believes he is.)
Press Intrusion - The media are really scrutinising Nicholas (and Mia) at the moment, and she's finding it very tough. All the angst about needing to (appear to) be perfect, 100% of the time, and the psychological toll that has. The worries that he's not a good enough consort, not supporting Mia enough, and about what happens if he fails her. The worries about whether needing to present this perfect image is negatively affecting his relationship with Mia, changing his behaviour for the worse. (It isn't. But he worries - until she reassures him.) I love the trope of people needing to present a public mask and how they can only let their guard down in private - and how difficult it might be to operate like that. But also, maybe the fact he was once Mia's rival means the press constantly question his motives - wondering if he's sincere, if he's deceived her and still wants the crown, if he's actually a bad person. Does Mia need to reassure him that only her opinion of him matters? (And that Clarisse and Joe believe in him too?)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Maybe from seasickness? But Nicholas spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Mia is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Mia is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Nicholas! Maybe about Mabrey? About losing Mia? Or maybe a dream where he got the crown, and he wakes up horrified by the whole experience. I just want him to wake up devastated and need Mia to comfort him.
Sickfic
Flu - Nicholas is so sick he can't even stand up. He's too exhausted, in too much pain, all he can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe he even needs Mia to feed him, lifting a spoon to his mouth.

James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy
I love Bones and his sassy grumpiness, and how under that he clearly cares (though possibly he wishes he didn't). Kirk starts off rebellious and traumatised, but obviously has a keen mind and an urge to protect people. Really enjoy both Bones despairing at young, reckless, flirty Kirk, and the more tender moments once Kirk mellows into a slightly-more-responsible captain, like when they're sharing the booze that Bones stole from Chekov.
(No preference for whether you call them Jim/Bones or Kirk/McCoy, use what you prefer.)
Prompts for Hurt Kirk:
Angst
Pining - Pining so bad he aches with it! Pining so bad he feels like he can't breathe! Maybe pining he doesn't even understand why because he's totally only into women, so there's no reason for Bones to make him feel this way - and then realising there is a reason only makes it worse! (The attraction is secretly mutual, but Kirk doesn't know that.)
Survivor's Guilt - His father sacrificed himself so Jim could live on the day he was born. He was literally born into survivor's guilt. Give me all of it, all the angst, Kirk thinking: Is he worthy? Will he ever live up to it? Would it have been better if he'd died and his father had lived? Is he a terrible person if he doesn't use his life well? Is he a terrible person because the weight of needing to live well is too much so he decided to live badly?? All of it!
Tarsus IV - Possibly not canon for this timeline, but too delicious to throw out. I'd like a mention of why he was there, but after that - maximum survivor's guilt, round 2! Now with actual memories of the people who died!
General art prompt - Kirk sobbing on his knees, Bones trying to comfort him.
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, could be an alien infection, but Kirk spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Bones is there to rub his back and stroke his hair. Probably with a side order of the least reassuring bedside manner ever.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Bones is there to rub his back and stroke his hair. Probably with a side order of the least reassuring bedside manner ever.
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Kirk! Could involve one of the subjects from the angst section, or about his stepfather screaming at him, or maybe he dreams that all of his crew die and it's his fault, whatever. I just want him to wake up devastated and need Bones to comfort him. Could be an Only One Bed scenario, or bedsharing in an established relationship.
Injury - Kirk gets injured during an away mission. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. And Bones looks after him as he recovers. Maybe has to look after him in the field, helping him get to safety, helping him walk?
Sickfic
Flu - Kirk's so sick he can't even stand up. He's too exhausted, in too much pain, all he can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe he even needs Bones to feed him, lifting a spoon to his mouth. Or help him drink with a straw. Could be in medbay, or in his own quarters.
Weird Alien Illness - As above, but with the added worry that they don't exactly know what it is. And maybe alarming things are happening (in a less comedic way than usual) like blue spots appearing on his skin? Of course, they figure out a cure. But not before Kirk gets some good suffering out of it.
Hanahaki - Pining, now in physical flower form! A confession will instantly cure him... but until then, coughing up petals and chest aches and slowly losing energy, worrying it might kill him. (Maybe hanahaki is rare, and they don't even realise what it means at first?)
Whump
Beaten Up - Alien bad guys get their hands on Kirk and beat him up. Bruises galore, maybe even cracked ribs, absolute agony all over... Everything will heal with no scars eventually. Eventually. Until then - Pain. So much pain.
Injuryless Torture - I didn't request Graphic Torture because I can't do the kinds that involve gore, but I love the kind where the torture is some kind of psychic/scifi thing which causes extreme pain without leaving any trace on the body. Turn that thing up to the max and make Kirk scream!
James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock
Reckless but brilliant Kirk, logical yet emotional Spock, sharp-tongued but compassionate Bones... I love the interplay between these three: snarking yet supporting, frustrated yet protective, so loyal even when they disagree. Each side of the triangle has such a different way of interacting, and I'm interested in all of those as well as how they blend into a trio. Whether they're mutually pining before they get together, or they're a solid established triad, I'd love to see some hesitant vulnerability as Kirk gets the shit whumped out of him.

I just want him to wake up devastated and need Bones and Spock to comfort him. Could be an Only One Bed scenario, or bedsharing in an established relationship.
Injury - Kirk gets injured during an away mission. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. And Spock and Bones look after him as he recovers. Maybe has to look after him in the field, helping him get to safety, helping him walk?
Sickfic
Flu - Kirk's so sick he can't even stand up. He's too exhausted, in too much pain, all he can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe he even needs one of them to feed him, lifting a spoon to his mouth. Or help him drink with a straw. Could be in medbay, or in his own quarters.
Weird Alien Illness - As above, but with the added worry that they don't exactly know what it is. And maybe alarming things are happening (in a less comedic way than usual) like blue spots appearing on his skin? Of course, they figure out a cure. But not before Kirk gets some good suffering out of it.
Hanahaki - Pining, now in physical flower form! A confession will instantly cure him... but until then, coughing up petals and chest aches and slowly losing energy, worrying it might kill him. (Maybe hanahaki is rare, and they don't even realise what it means at first?)
Whump
Beaten Up - Alien bad guys get their hands on Kirk and beat him up. Bruises galore, maybe even cracked ribs, absolute agony all over... Everything will heal with no scars eventually. Eventually. Until then - Pain. So much pain.
Injuryless Torture - I didn't request Graphic Torture because I can't do the kinds that involve gore, but I love the kind where the torture is some kind of psychic/scifi thing which causes extreme pain without leaving any trace on the body. Turn that thing up to the max and make Kirk scream!
Pavel Chekov/James T. Kirk
Chekov is so fucking adorable. I love his earnest enthusiasm, his innocence, and his extreme competency despite his age - and how that fits with Kirk, who's older, more traumatised, and chafes against the rules, but strives to protect his crew. They work so well together, and I really enjoyed how much of Beyond was just the two of them out in the wilds, with a slightly more mature Chekov showing he can handle himself in the field.
Would love to see them as a couple, with Kirk's captainly urges to keep people safe translating into him being soft and tender with a hurt Chekov - or Kirk trying to hide his own hurt from Chekov. I'd prefer if this was set after Beyond, i.e. when Chekov is 22 or older.
(No preference for whether you call them Jim/Pavel or Kirk/Chekov, use what you prefer.)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, could be an alien infection, but Chekov spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Kirk is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Kirk is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Chekov! Maybe their latest mission went wrong (and nearly went very wrong) and now it's haunting his dreams. I just want him to wake up devastated and need Kirk to comfort him. Could be an Only One Bed scenario, or bedsharing in an established relationship.
Injury - Chekov gets injured during an away mission. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. And Kirk looks after him as he recovers. Maybe has to look after him in the field, helping him get to safety, helping him walk?
Omegaverse Heat - Okay, hear me out: omega Chekov has a painful heat, and fucking would get rid of the pain, and they're both attracted to each other. But they don't fuck. Haven't confessed feelings yet? Alpha Kirk can't trust Chekov's consent because he gave it after the heat started? Chekov's a virgin and not ready to have sex? Whatever reason, Chekov's just got to struggle on through it - with Kirk comforting him, holding him close, letting Chekov inhale his scent... For hours. Also love the trope where omegas find a hand on the back of their neck instinctively really calming. (Similar to scruffing I guess?) And maybe Kirk uses that also?
Sickfic
Flu - Chekov's so sick he can't even stand up. He's too exhausted, in too much pain, all he can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe he even needs Kirk to feed him, lifting a spoon to his mouth. Or help him drink with a straw. Could be in medbay, or in his own quarters.

Angst
Pining - Pining so bad he aches with it! Pining so bad he feels like he can't breathe! Pining because Chekov is so much younger! Maybe pining he doesn't even understand why because he's totally only into women, so there's no reason for Chekov to make him feel this way - and then realising there is a reason only makes it worse! (The attraction is secretly mutual, but Kirk doesn't know that.)
Survivor's Guilt - His father sacrificed himself so Jim could live on the day he was born. He was literally born into survivor's guilt. Give me all of it, all the angst, Kirk thinking: Is he worthy? Will he ever live up to it? Would it have been better if he'd died and his father had lived? Is he a terrible person if he doesn't use his life well? Is he a terrible person because the weight of needing to live well is too much so he decided to live badly?? All of it!
Tarsus IV - Possibly not canon for this timeline, but too delicious to throw out. I'd like a mention of why he was there, but after that - maximum survivor's guilt, round 2! Now with actual memories of the people who died!
General art prompt - Kirk sobbing on his knees, Chekov trying to comfort him.
Hurt/Comfort

James T. Kirk/Christopher Pike
I love that Pike was the first one to believe in Kirk - and the one who got Kirk to believe in himself. He finds this young guy losing a bar fight and tells him he can do more, be better, live up to not only his potential but his father's legacy. And Kirk hears that challenge and says no, I'll do even better than that.
But there's a tension between them: Pike encourages Kirk's out-of-the-box thinking and urge for heroics, but also expects him to follow the rules (or at least know which rules to break and when). Kirk wants that approval, wants to excel, but he's used to rebellion and reckless behaviour and is willing to risk more than other people are comfortable with. There's this push and pull where they're trying to find where the line should fall, and maybe that could play into how they are as a couple: not quite sure if their relationship is appropriate or it's going too far, if it's going to make Kirk a better man or screw him up more.
As a captain, Pike seems kind and steady but also willing to make unconventional choices, and he gives Kirk a chance to speak even when he's just stowed away on his ship. Kirk respects him and wants his respect in return but also chafes against the hierarchy of Starfleet. I'd love to see their relationship blossom into more, with Pike being encouraging but maybe also conflicted, and Kirk finding a sense of safety even as he's unsettled by commitment. Or maybe Kirk gets whumped before they get together.
Not looking for daddy kink here but Kirk's daddy issues are welcome. He obviously has some trauma with regards to his father (and presumably his abusive stepfather) and that's part of why he is the way he is. But with everything that happens in space, they probably both have some trauma due to the terrible things they've seen, maybe even PTSD, and that could play into the whump.
If you set this during or after Into Darkness please go AU and have Pike live! AUs where Kirk stayed as Pike's First Officer welcome too. (No preference for whether you call them Jim/Chris or Kirk/Pike, use what you prefer.)

James T. Kirk/Montgomery "Scotty" Scott
I love that Scotty is almost immediately loyal to Kirk, and that Kirk absolutely relies on him to get things done - even when Scotty's already resigned. And Scotty might complain, but he'll still rush to help him. I love how Scotty swings between almost innocent cheerfulness that turns to grumpiness when he feels unappreciated, and the humorous possibilities of that with his charming, flirty, almost reckless captain. Kirk's a good leader, but he's got trauma lurking beneath the surface, and I think Scotty would be kind with that. And they're both brilliant in their own ways.

Franklin "FDR" Foster/Tuck Hansen
I love these two and the dynamic they have: working smoothly together, protecting each other in danger, happily declaring their love for each other, bantering, hanging out. They're deeply competitive but deeply loyal, though there's also a fragility to their friendship. They're such different people - smooth, flirty FDR who hides his angsty past, and earnest, romantic Tuck who's longing for love but doesn't know how to find it - but they have such an easy rapport and genuinely like each other. (Except when they don't.)
They also do a lot of terrible things - for their jobs, but also socially - and I'm fine with that being acknowledged, in a "they're the same kind of terrible, and therefore perfect for each other" sort of way. But feel free to ignore that thread.
Prompts for Hurt FDR:
Angst
Pining - Pining so bad he aches with it! Pining so bad he feels like he can't breathe! Maybe pining he doesn't even understand why because he's totally only into women, so there's no reason for Tuck to make him feel this way - and then realising there is a reason only makes it worse! (The attraction is secretly mutual, but FDR doesn't know that.)
Framed - FDR gets framed as a double agent/traitor. Maybe he has to go on the run, and deal with the terror of being hunted down. And the angst of all his colleagues believing he's gone bad. Maybe Tuck is the only one who believes in him - but maybe even Tuck has a moment of doubt, and FDR's crushed by it? Maybe Tuck is even the one sent to interrogate FDR...
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, maybe he's been dosed with something by a baddie, but FDR spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Tuck is there to rub his back and stroke his hair, even if he isn't entirely soft about it.
Vomiting - Or maybe FDR does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Tuck is there to rub his back and stroke his hair, even if he isn't entirely soft about it.
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for FDR! Maybe a mission goes wrong, or nearly went very wrong, and he's haunted by it. I just want him to wake up devastated and need Scotty to comfort him. Could be an Only One Bed scenario, or bedsharing in an established relationship.

Amaya/Magnifico of Rosas
I loved the soft relationship these two had. Calm, confident, practical Amaya organising things to smooth Magnifico's work, but also gently steering and comforting him when he's tempted by darkness. Focused, arrogant, brilliant Magnifico dazzling his subjects, but revealing a softer and more vulnerable side when alone with his wife, happily taking her advice.
Despite his downfall, I do believe he really loved her, so I'd prefer them to be happily together at the end of the fic - even if things are complicated. I DNW breakups, so I don't want to see her abandon him because the book has turned him irreversibly evil. But Magnifico using the book and Amaya freeing him from its influence, resulting in an angsty situation with a penitent Magnifico, is totally fine. Also pre-canon whump, where their relationship is loving but the surrounding situation is more bittersweet.
Prompts for Hurt Magnifico:
Angst
Childhood Trauma - The childhood loss of his family was clearly so traumatic that it's influenced his motivation and his actions ever since. Learning magic, becoming king, granting wishes... It's all because he never wants to feel that pain again, never wants anyone else to feel it either. And his absolute desperation to hold to his methods of preventing that (even when they're destructive) suggests that the pain he carries is still massive, even decades later. Anything about this subject: Him opening up to Amaya about it for the first time, pre-canon? Having a particularly emotional day and needing her comfort? His thoughts during any scene in canon, as he fears events are going to hurt him again? (And Amaya comforting him through that?) Something post-canon where he tries to heal from that trauma, with Amaya's help?
Redemption - Magnifico has his villain turn (whether he uses the book or not) and then gets redeemed... Now he has to deal with the consequences of that, forever. He clearly loved being king, loved having that positive attention - now he has a whole kingdom of former subjects who've seen the worst version of him. How does he win them over again? Can he even win them over? How long is it going to take him to wear down that fear, that mistrust? How much is he going to have to sacrifice, to flagellate, to wallow in his angst before people can see the good in him? Him opening up to Amaya, and receiving support and comfort, very welcome.
Hurt/Comfort
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Magnifico! Involving one of the subjects from the angst section maybe? I just want him to wake up devastated and need Amaya to comfort him.
Magical Mishap - A spell goes wrong, and injures Magnifico. Or leaves a lingering sensation of pain for a while. As he recovers, Amaya comforts him.
Nausea - Maybe he got really seasick on the ship to Rosas? Or it's the aftereffect of a failed spell? But Magnifico spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Amaya is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe? Magic of a failed spell is lingering in his stomach and needs to be removed?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Amaya is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Amaya/Asha/Magnifico of Rosas
I thought the relationships between all three were so interesting, and I'd love to see Amaya and Magnifico fold Asha into their established marriage. Obviously there's a big age difference, so maybe they'd all be hesitant about the idea to begin with - but please either let some time elapse so Asha's 18, or make it an AU where she was 18 to begin with. But I loved Amaya's soft and supportive marriage to Magnifico, and how soft and supportive she was of Asha too. And Asha and Magnifico had such a connection during her interview (before it all went off the rails). How would they function as a three?
No irredeemably evil Magnifico for this ship, please - I'd like him to be a sympathetic figure instead.

Asha/Magnifico of Rosas
I enjoyed this film, but it left me craving more of certain ideas. Mainly an apprentice Asha AU, Magnifico being softer - or Magnifico being even worse.
I kinda felt like they couldn't decide what Magnifico's motivation was. Like whether he was a purely evil villain powered by arrogance and a need for control, or whether he was a sympathetic antagonist crushed by the pressure of kingship and past trauma. I'd prefer misguided good guy Magnifico if he's the hurt one, but for hurt Asha it depends on the type of whump requested. Even if he's a good guy that genuinely cares, feel free to make him arrogant and a bit manipulative - or to turn those traits to the max if he's evil.
Between Asha's interview and them duetting on what was basically a love song, I both shipped these two and really wanted to see them as mentor/apprentice. I love Asha's determination, her compassion, her righteousness, and her quirky goofiness - but if your work suits her being more serious, that's fine. Apprentice AU, canon plotline, or other canon divergence are all welcome.
Please either make this an AU where Asha is already 18, or have a time skip so she's an adult. And please either give Magnifico and Amaya an open relationship, or make it an AU where they were never a couple... Unless you're going with fully evil Magnifico, in which case I'm fine with him cheating on Amaya and/or nonconning Asha. Otherwise, consensual, please.
(If Magnifico's a sympathetic figure who turns to darkness, please leave the door open for redemption. But fully evil Magnifico doesn't need redemption - in fact, I'm fine with a Villain Wins AU.)
Hurt/Comfort
Magical Mishap - Apprentice Asha gets hurt by a misfiring spell. Maybe she's injured, maybe it just inflicts a lingering sensation of pain. As she recovers, Magnifico looks after her. (Maybe the spell misfire was her fault, and Magnifico comforts her about that too.)
Injury - Maybe during the canon plot events, Magnifico or his magic injure Asha - and it makes him realise he doesn't want to hurt her. Instead he turns and looks after her, stopping the bleeding, carrying her to safety, taking care of her as she heals - or using his magic to heal her. Or maybe when he was slamming her around with the green magic tendrils, she got really bruised up, even cracked a few ribs?
Nausea - The aftereffect of a failed spell maybe? (Him deliberately cursing her?) But Asha spends hours feeling like she's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Magnifico is there to rub her back and fill her with soothing magic.
Vomiting - Or maybe she does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe? Magic of a failed spell is lingering in her stomach and needs to be removed?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, her stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Magnifico is there to rub her back, hold her hair back, and fill her with soothing magic.
Omegaverse Heat - Okay, hear me out: omega Asha has a painful heat, and fucking would get rid of the pain, and they're both attracted to each other. But they don't fuck. Haven't confessed feelings yet? Alpha Magnifico can't trust Asha's consent because she gave it after the heat started? Asha's a virgin and not ready to have sex? Whatever reason, Asha's just got to struggle on through it - with Magnifico comforting her, holding her close, letting Asha inhale his scent... For hours. Also love the trope where omegas find a hand on the back of their neck instinctively really calming. (Similar to scruffing I guess?) And maybe Magnifico uses that also?
Hurt/Non-Consensual Comfort - Whether she falls and hurts herself trying to escape him, he deliberately injures her with magic, or some magic (his or Star's) accidentally hurts her... But now Asha's in pain, and evil Magnifico is gently comforting her. Only she doesn't want him to, and that's another hurt in itself. Maybe it doesn't even seem like he's sincere, and that's kinda terrifying.
Rape
Magnifico noncons Asha. Maybe he's gentle about it, treating her like a lover - maybe she even comes, and feels ashamed. Maybe he's rougher, even using the green magic hands to tear her clothes off and hold her down, hold her legs open? But he intimately violates her. (Maybe Asha's even a virgin? Omega Asha/alpha Magnifico could work here too, with all the extra tropes that brings.) Maybe he gently - but not necessarily sincerely - comforts her afterwards too, and that just makes it worse.
Sickfic
Flu - Asha's so sick she can't even stand up. She's too exhausted, in too much pain, all she can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe she even needs Magnifico to feed her, lifting a spoon to her mouth. Or help her drink with a straw. Maybe he visits her at home, maybe she's his guest at the castle, maybe they're already a couple... Maybe she's his prisoner, locked in a cell.
Magical Illness - As above, but it's caused by magic. Maybe it was an accident (a spell misfire? she touched an artifact she shouldn't have?) but now Asha is sick. And kind sorcerer Magnifico is the only one who can heal her... or maybe evil Magnifico did it to her on purpose. Can he be convinced to stop?
Angst
Childhood Trauma - The childhood loss of his family was clearly so traumatic that it's influenced his motivation and his actions ever since. Learning magic, becoming king, granting wishes... It's all because he never wants to feel that pain again, never wants anyone else to feel it either. And his absolute desperation to hold to his methods of preventing that (even when they're destructive) suggests that the pain he carries is still massive, even decades later. Anything about this subject: Him opening up to Asha about all the details of it for the first time? Having a particularly emotional day and needing her comfort? His thoughts during any scene in canon, as he fears events are going to hurt him again? (And Asha choosing to change course and comfort him instead?) Something post-canon where he tries to heal from that trauma, with Asha's help?
Redemption - Magnifico has his villain turn (whether he uses the book or not) and then gets redeemed... Now he has to deal with the consequences of that, forever. He clearly loved being king, loved having that positive attention - now he has a whole kingdom of former subjects who've seen the worst version of him. How does he win them over again? Can he even win them over? How long is it going to take him to wear down that fear, that mistrust? How much is he going to have to sacrifice, to flagellate, to wallow in his angst before people can see the good in him? Him opening up to Asha, and receiving support and comfort, very welcome.
Hurt/Comfort
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Magnifico! Involving one of the subjects from the angst section maybe? I just want him to wake up devastated and need Asha to comfort him. Could be bedsharing in an established relationship, or maybe he accidentally falls asleep while working with apprentice Asha.
Magical Mishap - A spell goes wrong, and injures Magnifico. Or leaves a lingering sensation of pain for a while. As he recovers, Asha comforts him. Maybe as part of an apprentice AU? (Maybe the mishap was even her fault, and he's kind about it?)
Nausea - The aftereffect of a failed spell maybe? But Magnifico spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Asha is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe? Magic of a failed spell is lingering in his stomach and needs to be removed?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Asha is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.

Helping injured character undress, remove armour, etc.

Vomiting in the context of hurt/comfort - the loss of control, the pain of throwing up, the vulnerability of being seen that way - whether due to nausea, induced by emetic, or induced by fingers (theirs or partner's). Not interested in the vomit itself, though fine to mention it looks/smells/tastes gross.

- I love both the hurt and comfort parts of the equation! For the sickfic and actual hurt/comfort tags, I'd like a mix of both hurt and comfort. (Either hurt then comfort, for things like nightmares; or concurrent hurt-and-comfort, for things like nausea/injuries/sickfic.) For the whump tag, I'd like you to luxuriate in the hurt part of it, really emphasising the intensity of the experience - the amount of comfort afterwards, a little or a lot, is up to you. (Possibly none, if you want to do art of A getting whumped while horrified partner B looks on.) For angsty pining, again, please luxuriate in it - then have it all solved with a mutual love confession at the end. Other kinds of angst: concurrent angst-and-comfort or angst followed by comfort is fine, depending on what you think works for the idea. For the rape tag, hurt/no comfort and hurt followed by non-consensual comfort are both welcome.
Smut Likes:
- Positions: Missionary, riding and other face-to-face positions, for eye contact and/or lots of kissing. But spooning pairs well with gentle sex, and oral fingering's probably more easily done from behind.
- Locations: In bed, in a chair, against a wall, on the floor... In the bedroom, in the living room, in an alley, in a forest, in a dungeon, on a ship, on the victorious battlefield... Basically anywhere? Yeah.
- Acts: Anal sex, including het anal. Vaginal sex. Loss of virginity. First time bottoming. Pegging. Strap-ons. Deepthroating. Oral fingering. Kissing during sex. Breastplay (fondling, gently squeezing, kissing). Nippleplay (pinching, kissing, licking).

- Dubcon: Sex pollen. Fuck or die. Sex caused by magic or to perform magic. Pining during dubcon. (Whether they admit their feelings during, after, or not at all.) Having to trust each other with the unexpected intimacy. Worrying about being so vulnerable but being kind to each other and coming out stronger on the other side.
- Size kink and stretching: Big cocks. Painful penetration. Lots of foreplay/prep, slow and gentle penetration so it isn't painful. Large object insertions. Sounding.
- Omegaverse: Alpha/Omega. Painfully big alpha dicks. Knotting. Sexy pheromones. Pheromones that communicate fear, or anger, or other emotions. Alpha pheromones that make the omega feel safe, or protected, or calm.
- An undercover situation requires them to fuck while being watched, but they successfully fake it - except the kisses, the touches, the proximity, and the "is it okay if I..." questions whispered right in each other's ears were all very real. And some of those moans didn't sound fake. Either they're so wound up they fuck for real once they're no longer being watched, or the feelings keep simmering until they boil over later.
Diana Prince/Steve Trevor
I love that they're both competent, but that Diana really got to shine as a badass - and that Steve, despite the attitudes of his time period, was impressed by her. Diana is so determined and forthright, but the culture clash and her mostly-theoretical knowledge means she starts off quite naive and has to learn how to deal with the complexities of the wider world. Steve is trying hard to be a good man and make a difference, but he's clearly seen terrible things during the war and he has to be haunted by them.
They make such a good team, both as adventurers and as a couple, and I'd love to see them in a healthy established relationship. Feel free to do a canon divergence AU where Steve survives the first film, or else find some other way for them to be together and stay together. I just want him to suffer prettily while Diana looks after him.
Prompts for Hurt Steve:
Angst
Reincarnation - Steve gets reincarnated, meets Diana again, she tells him everything... and he doesn't remember her. She can prove it's true, he absolutely believes her - so he's left with the knowledge that she's meant to be his soulmate, and there's a whole piece of him missing. (Until his memories come back after all!)
Pining - Or maybe he gets reincarnated, and keeps having these dreams about Diana. He knows she's his soulmate - but he doesn't know who she is, or how to find her, and he's tortured by the idea that he never will. Or same scenario, but instead of being reincarnated, he was injured and now has amnesia. He knows he needs to find this woman - but until he does, it feels like a piece of him is missing.
War Trauma - The things he saw, maybe even the things he did, horrify Steve. And he doesn't know how to let go of them, how to stop them taking over his thoughts, maybe even giving him flashbacks. Diana gently helps him heal.
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, could be some kind of magic thing, but Steve spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Diana is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Diana is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Steve! Could be about the horrors of war, or a dream about dying (again), or whatever. I just want him to wake up devastated and need Diana to comfort him.
Injury - Steve gets injured during an adventure. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. And Diana looks after him as he recovers. Maybe has to look after him in the field, helping him get to safety, helping him walk - or picking him up and carrying him?
Sickfic
Flu - Steve's so sick he can't even stand up. He's too exhausted, in too much pain, all he can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe he even needs Diana to feed him, lifting a spoon to his mouth. Or help him drink with a straw.
Magical Illness - As above, but with the added worry that they don't exactly know what it is. Of course, they figure out a cure. But not before Steve gets some good suffering out of it.
Injury - Steve survived the first film. Maybe via some kind of soulmate magic protected him, maybe it's an AU where the film had a different problem at the end (and you can be very vague about what that problem was). But he was severely injured, and it's going to take him a long time to recover. General injuries across his body, general exhaustion, maybe specifically injured legs that mean he can't walk with Diana's help? He knows he'll heal eventually... but dealing with it (emotionally, practically) is so hard in the meantime. But kind Diana is there to be gentle with him. Maybe they even get a little cottage so he can rest in peace and quiet?
Whump
Beaten Up - Bad guys get their hands on Steve and beat him up. Bruises galore, maybe even cracked ribs, absolute agony all over... Everything will heal with no scars eventually. Eventually. Until then - Pain. So much pain.
Injuryless Torture - I didn't request Graphic Torture because I can't do the kinds that involve gore, but I love the kind where the torture is some kind of psychic/scifi thing which causes extreme pain without leaving any trace on the body. Turn that thing up to the max and make Steve scream!
Alice Chambers/Frank Carlson
I loved the mindfuckery aspects of this film, and Frank was so compellingly creepy that I both wanted to run away and couldn't take my eyes off him. Their intellectual rivalry and mind games, with Frank daring Alice to work out what's really going on, sparked such good chemistry between them, and I'd love to see more in that vein - or maybe Frank alters Alice's memory to keep her unknowing and compliant. If you want to do smut, I'm happy for it to be anywhere from noncon to dubcon to fully consensual (if maybe conflicted and/or filled with shame).
I'm fine with a missing scene, or with canon divergence (Frank lives and Alice remains his prisoner in Victory; Alice goes for a final showdown with Frank; etc.) Considering the nature of the relationships in this canon, I have no problem with either Alice or Frank "cheating" on their partners. Also happy for Alice/Jack and Frank/Shelley to be happening in the background. Jack can be alive or dead (or you can kill him off again, if you're doing an AU) but if Shelley exists I want her to survive. (Maybe Shelley escapes instead, and Frank decides to claim Alice in her place?)
Prompts for Hurt Alice:
Angst
Hallucinations - She already has hallucinations in canon, but more of that. More often, more intense. No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Alice! Just warp her brain until she's no longer even sure what's real - but she knows something's very wrong. (Maybe Frank is even the hallucination, following her into the real world... She's escaped Victory, but she can never escape him.)
Kept Captive Forever - Villain wins AU, where Alice never manages to escape, and Frank keeps her captive forever. She knows she's never getting out, she's never returning to her old life - she's stuck as his prisoner forever, totally in his power, his to do as he wishes. And his gentle murmurs that this life is wonderful, that she'll be happy in Victory, don't diminish her horror.
Forced Pregnancy - Frank impregnates captive Alice in the real world. Now she has his child growing inside her, and her body's no longer her own. And she knows, at some point, she's going to have to give birth... And none of Frank's sweet, happy reassurance helps at all. In fact, it just makes it worse.
Killing Jack - Maybe she didn't mean to kill him, maybe she didn't realise killing him in Victory would kill Jack in real life. But Alice killed Jack. And her head is still full of all these conflicting memories, of Jack being a horrible person, of Jack being the husband she loved... Does Frank blame her for it, or does he gently comfort her and tell her it wasn't her fault - which maybe doesn't help at all?
Hurt/Comfort
Nightmares - This already happens a little in canon, but more so. Nightmares about being trapped in Victory, nightmares about what Frank might do to her, nightmares about having killed Jack... No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Alice! And Frank gently comforts her, whether she wants him to or not.
Memory Alteration Process - We saw a little bit of Alice being reset, but is that what having new memories inserted is like? Maybe it's painful in a different way, and Frank stays with her through it, gently holding her hand and comforting her... as he strips away all she is and remakes her as his fantasy.
Nausea - Could be an illness, could be a hangover, could be morning sickness, could be Frank's just turned the nausea setting on for her... But Alice spends hours feeling like she's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Frank is there to rub her back and stroke her hair, whether she wants him to or not.
Vomiting - Or maybe she does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Frank fed her poison maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, her stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Frank is there to rub her back and stroke her hair, whether she wants him to or not.
Rape
Frank nonconning Alice. Maybe he's gentle about it, treating her like a lover - maybe she even comes, and feels ashamed. Maybe he's rougher - holding her down, pinning her against a wall, forcing her legs open? But he intimately violates her. (Omega Alice/alpha Frank could work here too, with all the extra tropes that brings.) Maybe he gently - but not necessarily sincerely - comforts her afterwards too, and that just makes it worse.
Doric/Xenk Yendar
We don't really get any focused moments between these two in the film, but Doric actually seems like the least hostile to Xenk from the beginning - ironic considering her stance on humans started as "hateful and selfish" and "just can't help but lie"... but then Xenk and his ridiculous paladin goodness are so obviously the opposite of that! If Xenk joined the party for further adventures, I like to imagine they'd become good friends, and then fall in love (maybe after mutually pining). Or maybe just gently looking after each other during a dubcon scenario.
I love Doric's combination of a sharp tongue with her moral integrity and intense environmental concern, and how that contrasts and blends with Xenk's stern intensity, his awkward ways, and his own intense sense of justice and goodness. They're both visibly outsiders in ways the others aren't, so maybe they would have a natural understanding - or they'd bond over the angst of losing their families because of it. And between their outsider status and Xenk's sense of duty, I tend to imagine they're both virgins.
(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)
Prompts for Hurt Doric
Angst
Family Abandonment - Just because Doric's open about being abandoned by her parents, doesn't mean she's not still wounded by it. She may have found a family/community among the wood elves, but that kind of rejection would be hugely traumatic - especially considering the general hatred of tieflings that she must run into all the time. (Feel free to incorporate anti-tiefling prejudice into this idea!)
Pining - Pining so bad she aches with it! Pining so bad she feels like she can't breathe! Maybe Doric's convinced herself that Xenk doesn't experience attraction, or that his vows mean he can never be with anyone, and therefore her feelings are hopeless. (The attraction is secretly mutual, but Doric doesn't know that.)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness, could be morning sickness. But Doric spends hours feeling like she's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Xenk is there to rub her back and stroke her hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe she does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, her stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Xenk is there to rub her back and stroke her hair.
Injury - Doric gets injured during an adventure. Nothing that's actually going to kill her, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. Maybe Xenk can heal her up with magic, but maybe he's run out of spells or been cuffed (imprisoned?), and can only comfort her. Maybe has to help her get to safety, helping her walk - or picking her up and carrying her?
Stabbing Injury - A specific type of injury I'd love to see! Doric gets stabbed in the gut.
Arrow Wound - Another specific scenario I love! Doric gets shot with an arrow, in the stomach or the chest, and Xenk has to gently ease the arrow out before healing her with magic.
Omegaverse Heat - Okay, hear me out: omega Doric has a painful heat, and fucking would get rid of the pain, and they're both attracted to each other. But they don't fuck. Haven't confessed feelings yet? Alpha Xenk can't trust Doric's consent because she gave it after the heat started? One or both of them are virgins and not ready to have sex? Whatever reason, Doric's just got to struggle on through it - with Xenk comforting her, holding her close, letting Doric inhale his scent... For hours. Also love the trope where omegas find a hand on the back of their neck instinctively really calming. (Similar to scruffing I guess?) And maybe Xenk uses that also?
Sickfic
Flu - Doric is so sick she can't even stand up. She's too exhausted, in too much pain, all she can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe she even needs Xenk to feed her, lifting a spoon to her mouth.
Magical Illness - As above, but it's caused by magic. Maybe by a curse or an artifact the party found in a dungeon? But Doric is sick, and Xenk gently looks after her while they find a cure.
Hanahaki - Pining, now in physical flower form! A confession will instantly cure her... but until then, coughing up petals and chest aches and slowly losing energy, worrying it might kill her. (Maybe hanahaki is rare, and they don't even realise what it means at first?)
Prompts for Hurt Xenk
Angst
Beckoning Death - Anything about the Beckoning Death! Being haunted by losing his family, losing his entire country, needing to live as an exile. Worrying that one day the curse will take control of him, and he'll become Szass Tam's puppet. Seeing himself as less than a person, worrying that the curse has taken part of his soul, and the only way to earn his own existence is being by the most paladin to ever paladin. (Not true, of course, but he might have convinced himself it is.) Could also tie into anti-Thayan prejudice, and how being visibly marked as partially undead means he can never escape it - and maybe always wanting to convince people there are good Thayans, but also feeling like his undead status means they're kind of right to fear him?
Paladin Duty - Maybe Xenk has convinced himself that his paladin duty means he can never be with anyone, and it takes a lot of angsting before he realises he can. (Or Doric convinces him, or another paladin does.) Could also be combined with feeling like he needs to be perfect, but simultaneously struggling with the way people place him on a pedestal - feeling like they see an ideal, not the man he really is, and knowing that image is going to shatter when he starts being awkward at them.
Pining - Pining so bad he aches with it! Pining so bad he feels like he can't breathe! Maybe because of his duty or his curse, but maybe he's just convinced Doric would never be interested in him. (The attraction is secretly mutual, but Xenk doesn't know that.)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, could be some magical thing, but Xenk spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Doric is there to rub his back and murmur reassurance.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Doric is there to rub his back and murmur reassurance
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Xenk! Maybe a trauma flashback to the Beckoning Death, or something he's seen as a paladin, or a dream about the Red Wizards capturing him, or about his curse taking control of him. I just want Xenk to wake up devastated and need Doric to comfort him. Could be an Only One Bed scenario, Doric on watch while they're camping, or bedsharing in an established relationship.
Injury - Xenk gets injured during an adventure. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. Maybe he's run out of spells or been cuffed (imprisoned?), and needs Doric to comfort him. Maybe Doric has to help Xenk get to safety, helping him walk - or turning into an owlbear and carrying him?
Omegaverse Heat - Okay, hear me out: omega Xenk has a painful heat, and fucking would get rid of the pain, and they're both attracted to each other. But they don't fuck. Haven't confessed feelings yet? Alpha Doric can't trust Xenk's consent because he gave it after the heat started? One or both of them are virgins and not ready to have sex? Whatever reason, Xenk's just got to struggle on through it - with Doric comforting him, holding him close, letting Xenk inhale her scent... For hours. Also love the trope where omegas find a hand on the back of their neck instinctively really calming. (Similar to scruffing I guess?) And maybe Doric uses that also?
Sickfic
Flu - Xenk is so sick he can't even stand up. He's too exhausted, in too much pain, all he can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe he even needs Doric to feed him, lifting a spoon to his mouth.
Magical Illness - As above, but it's caused by magic. Maybe by a curse (or his curse) or an artifact the party found in a dungeon? But Xenk is sick, and Doric looks after him while they find a cure.
Hanahaki - Pining, now in physical flower form! A confession will instantly cure him... but until then, coughing up petals and chest aches and slowly losing energy, worrying it might kill him. (Maybe hanahaki is rare, and they don't even realise what it means at first?)
Whump
Beaten Up - Bad guys get their hands on Xenk and beat him up. Bruises galore, maybe even cracked ribs, absolute agony all over... Eventually his magic will recharge and he can heal himself. Until then - Pain. So much pain.
Injuryless Torture - I didn't request Graphic Torture because I can't do the kinds that involve gore, but I love the kind where the torture is some kind of psychic/magical thing which causes extreme pain without leaving any trace on the body. Turn that thing up to the max and make Xenk scream!
Edgin Darvis/Xenk Yendar
I have so many feelings about these two. I love their banter and how they spark off each other, how Edgin sees Xenk as an enemy but then grows to respect him and doesn't want him to leave, how Xenk is frustrated with Edgin's criminal tendencies but fully believes in his goodness and is determined to draw it out... Making Edgin swear on the Harper's seal, then tenderly touching his hand? In fact, all of the hand-holding, and the offers of hand-holding. I'd love to see how their relationship develops after the film, with a softer friendship blossoming into romance. (And more touching. Lots of touching. And banter.)
These two are so good for mutual pining. Maybe Xenk thinks he can't be with anyone because of his duty as a paladin, or because the Beckoning Death has left him cursed, partially undead, lacking part of his soul, etc. Maybe Edgin finds out Xenk is a virgin and assumes the guy isn't interested in sex at all. (I do headcanon Xenk as a virgin.) Or Edgin thinks Xenk's too noble and pure to want a criminal like him, or thinks Xenk wants someone more serious or more intellectual. Xenk thinking Edgin's too charming and sociable to want someone as awkward and unbending as him... I love the angsty possibilities of all this, the two of them keeping their feelings secret even as they're practically bursting with longing. Especially as both of them are so touchy-feely! They must be torturing each other.
Prompts for Hurt Edgin
Angst
Zia Guilt - Edgin may have given up the chance to resurrect Zia, but that doesn't mean he's dealt with his guilt over her death. It's steered every aspect of his life for so long - just because he's decided to move on, doesn't make it easy to leave all that pain behind. Especially as choosing, or wanting, to be with Xenk could add a whole new kind of guilt to his angst over Zia! (Fatherly guilt over failing Kira could be part of this too.)
Pining - Pining so bad he aches with it! Pining so bad he feels like he can't breathe! Maybe Edgin's convinced himself that Xenk doesn't experience attraction, or that his vows mean he can never be with anyone, and therefore his feelings are hopeless. (The attraction is secretly mutual, but Edgin doesn't know that.)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, could be some magical thing, but Edgin spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Xenk is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Xenk is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Edgin! Maybe a trauma flashback to losing Zia, or about being separated from Kira. I just want him to wake up devastated and need Xenk to comfort him. Could be an Only One Bed scenario, Xenk on watch while they're camping, or bedsharing in an established relationship.
Injury - Edgin gets injured during an adventure. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. Maybe Xenk can heal him up with magic, but maybe he's run out of spells or been cuffed (imprisoned?), and can only comfort Edgin. Maybe Xenk has to help Edgin get to safety, helping him walk - or picking him up and carrying him?
Stabbing Injury - A specific type of injury I'd love to see! Edgin gets stabbed in the gut.
Arrow Wound - Another specific scenario I love! Edgin gets shot with an arrow, in the stomach or the chest, and Xenk has to gently ease the arrow out before healing him with magic.
Omegaverse Heat - Okay, hear me out: omega Edgin has a painful heat, and fucking would get rid of the pain, and they're both attracted to each other. But they don't fuck. Haven't confessed feelings yet? Alpha Xenk can't trust Edgin's consent because he gave it after the heat started? Xenk is a virgin and not ready to have sex? Whatever reason, Edgin's just got to struggle on through it - with Xenk comforting him, holding him close, letting Edgin inhale his scent... For hours. Also love the trope where omegas find a hand on the back of their neck instinctively really calming. (Similar to scruffing I guess?) And maybe Xenk uses that also?
Sickfic
Flu - Edgin's so sick he can't even stand up. He's too exhausted, in too much pain, all he can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe he even needs Xenk to feed him, lifting a spoon to his mouth.
Magical Illness - As above, but it's caused by magic. Maybe by a curse or an artifact the party found in a dungeon? But Edgin is sick, and Xenk gently looks after him while they find a cure.
Hanahaki - Pining, now in physical flower form! A confession will instantly cure him... but until then, coughing up petals and chest aches and slowly losing energy, worrying it might kill him. (Maybe hanahaki is rare, and they don't even realise what it means at first?)
Prompts for Hurt Xenk
Angst
Beckoning Death - Anything about the Beckoning Death! Being haunted by losing his family, losing his entire country, needing to live as an exile. Worrying that one day the curse will take control of him, and he'll become Szass Tam's puppet. Seeing himself as less than a person, worrying that the curse has taken part of his soul, and the only way to earn his own existence is being by the most paladin to ever paladin. (Not true, of course, but he might have convinced himself it is.) Could also tie into anti-Thayan prejudice, and how being visibly marked as partially undead means he can never escape it - and maybe always wanting to convince people there are good Thayans, but also feeling like his undead status means they're kind of right to fear him?
Paladin Duty - Maybe Xenk has convinced himself that his paladin duty means he can never be with anyone, and it takes a lot of angsting before he realises he can. (Or Edgin convinces him, or another paladin does.) Could also be combined with feeling like he needs to be perfect, but simultaneously struggling with the way people place him on a pedestal - feeling like they see an ideal, not the man he really is, and knowing that image is going to shatter when he starts being awkward at them.
Pining - Pining so bad he aches with it! Pining so bad he feels like he can't breathe! Maybe because of his duty or his curse, but maybe he's just convinced Edgin would never be interested in him. (The attraction is secretly mutual, but Xenk doesn't know that.)

Beaten Up - Bad guys get their hands on Xenk and beat him up. Bruises galore, maybe even cracked ribs, absolute agony all over... Eventually his magic will recharge and he can heal himself. Until then - Pain. So much pain.

Edgin Darvis/Zia Darvis/Xenk Yendar
I really like the idea of Edgin getting to be happy with Zia but also with Xenk, and Zia and Xenk being happy together too. So... AU where she never dies? Maybe Edgin stays a Harper and ends up working with Xenk, and they get closer, resulting in Xenk being drawn into the established marriage?
Edgin seemed a lot softer before Zia's death - and maybe less prone to hiding his feelings - and Zia seemed very sweet and understanding, and I'd love to see what kind of dynamic they develop with kind but serious Xenk. Maybe this could take place in the cottage at Targos, either as established relationship, or Edgin bringing Xenk home after he gets whumped. Or maybe it could happen while they're on the run from the Red Wizards, or while adventuring?

Simon Aumar/Doric
I love how soft Simon gets around Doric and I'd love to see her showing a softer side to him in return. (I do love Doric's spikiness though.) And I love that over the course of the film, she was very interested every time Simon's competency was shown or discussed - she was always into him, she just had this one dealbreaker, and then he fixed it! (Well, maybe he didn't entirely fix it: I love Simon having more confidence, but it might be nice to see him struggle a little - with Doric encouraging him, now she's convinced of his capability.) Does Doric have a competency kink?
Both of them have angsty pasts: Doric as a tiefling rejected by her parents, who's visibly an outsider wherever she goes; Simon as a sorcerer trying to live up to his family's long legacy of wizardry. Plus, as a half-elf, wherever he was raised, he was probably too human for the elves and too elven for the humans. As they get to know each other better, it'd be great to see them open up to each other about these things.
Maybe their courting is awkward at first, possibly hampered by Simon's tendency to break things or fall over, but I absolutely believe they're a good match and would love to see a happy relationship grow between them.
Prompts for Hurt Doric
Angst
Family Abandonment - Just because Doric's open about being abandoned by her parents, doesn't mean she's not still wounded by it. She may have found a family/community among the wood elves, but that kind of rejection would be hugely traumatic - especially considering the general hatred of tieflings that she must run into all the time. (Feel free to incorporate anti-tiefling prejudice into this idea!)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness, could be morning sickness. But Doric spends hours feeling like she's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Simon is there to rub her back and stroke her hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe she does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, her stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Simon is there to rub her back and stroke her hair.
Injury - Doric gets injured during an adventure. Nothing that's actually going to kill her, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. And Simon looks after her as she recovers. Maybe has to look after her in the field, helping her get to safety, helping her walk?
Sickfic
Flu - Doric is so sick she can't even stand up. She's too exhausted, in too much pain, all she can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe she even needs Simon to feed her, lifting a spoon to her mouth.
Magical Illness - As above, but it's caused by magic. Maybe by a curse or an artifact the party found in a dungeon? But Doric is sick, and Simon gently looks after her while they find a cure.
Prompts for Hurt Simon
Angst
Aumar Legacy - Simon's angst over being a rubbish sorcerer seems partly tied to being descended from one of the most powerful, most famous wizards ever. I like the idea that he's also the only sorcerer in an entire family of wizards: surrounded by people who have a different kind of magic, who are good at it, and who don't understand why he can't just do what they do. And growing up like that has given him a complex that's hard to shift. Especially when he runs into one of them, or people start asking about his surname.
Self-Esteem Issues - More general self-esteem angst than the above. Simon's doing better than he was, and that's why Doric said he could court her again - but maybe that conditional agreement means he now feels like he can't bring his worries up to her at all? Even if they're legitimate? (I think she'd be softer with him than he expects... but he'd have to crack first.)

Simon Aumar/Edgin Darvis
I love how Edgin is absolutely convinced of Simon's potential badassery (he has a mental list of all the times Simon's magic worked!) and how he's determined to make Simon believe it too - and this, for some reason, involves touching Simon's face a lot. Simon is awkward and sulky in the face of this, even though he's perfectly willing to trust Edgin and follow his lead in other areas - maybe Simon is pining, and can't let himself believe that Edgin cares about him, or is worried about opening his heart? Depending on the situation, maybe Edgin feels too weird about the age difference, and doesn't want to take advantage of Simon... until something pushes them together.
(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)

Maybe Edgin can convince him none of it's true?
Pining - Pining so bad he aches with it! Pining so bad he feels like she can't breathe! Maybe Simon's convinced himself that someone like Edgin would never look at him twice, and therefore his feelings are hopeless. (The attraction is secretly mutual, but Simon doesn't know that.)

Simon Aumar/Xenk Yendar
In the film, Simon mostly seems to get on Xenk's nerves (being sarcastic! destroying the bridge!) but he's not doing it on purpose and I really think if they spent more time together they could become good friends - and then fall in love. Despite his initial jealousy, Simon is eager for Xenk to stay at the end. Under his sarcasm, his awkwardness, and his occasional sulkiness, Simon is rather sweet and kinda adorable. And once you see past his stern manner and paladin morals, Xenk is kind and actually sorta awkward too.
I like the idea that they're both a bit dorky, deeply interested in niche subjects, in a way none of the others understand. But I think they could find some common ground. But maybe Simon worries that Xenk doesn't like him, or doesn't respect him? And Xenk isn't great at social interaction, so he might not realise Simon feels that way, or might not know how to explain that he actually does care.
(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)

Nicholas Devereaux/Mia Thermopolis
This is such a great example of enemies to lovers. I love that they're kind and flirty at their first meeting, because they're immediately attracted to each other, and that even once they're enemies they can't hide that sexual tension. But their enmity is based on both seeking something only one of them can have rather than ideological differences: Nicholas seems more motivated by whether Mia's going to be a good queen and whether she really knows Genovia (and by his uncle's influence), and not a personal hunger for power. So once he's convinced of her capability (and she of his sincerity) and he gives up his claim to the crown, there's no question about whether they'd be able to find common ground.
I love both the push-and-pull of Nicholas flirting and Mia trying to resist (in the closet, by the fountain, the deleted scene in the kitchen) as well as them being soft and friendly with each other: Nicholas supporting Mia by helping with her archery, and the night they spend together before her wedding where we see them opening up emotionally, dancing close, and falling asleep in each other's arms. So I'd love a post-canon continuation of that as their relationship develops, or is fully established.
I liked Andrew as a character so no bashing of him please, and it's fine to have Mia/Andrew's unromantic engagement happening in the background or to show them amicably breaking up. Also happy for Clarisse/Joe to be in the background, or for Lilly to visit again. Or cute appearances by Fat Louie the cat or Maurice the dog!

Press Intrusion - The media are really scrutinising Mia at the moment, and she's finding it very tough. All the angst about needing to (appear to) be perfect, 100% of the time, and the psychological toll that has. The worries about what happens if she fails. The worries about whether needing to present this perfect image is negatively affecting her relationship with Nicholas, changing her behaviour for the worse, or whether he'll find dealing with the press too difficult and break up with her. (It isn't, and it won't. But she worries - until he reassures her.) I love the trope of people needing to present a public mask and how they can only let their guard down in private - and how difficult it might be to operate like that.
Hurt/Comfort
Ankle Injury - Mia has a clumsy moment and twists her ankle. It hurts to walk on, and she needs Nicholas's help to get around - maybe he even picks her up and carries her. Maybe it happens in the middle of a royal event, and she doesn't want people to know she's hurt - so Nicholas helps her hide it, secretly comforting her. Maybe it's so painful she can't walk on it at all and has to stay lying down, with Nicholas gently comforting her in bed - with cuddles, by stroking her hair, or maybe by cooking something delicious for her?
Nausea - Could be seasickness, could be morning sickness. But Mia spends hours feeling like she's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Nicholas is there to rub her back and stroke her hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe she does throw up. Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, her stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Nicholas is there to rub her back, and hold her hair back/gently stroke it.
Sickfic
Flu - Mia's so sick she can't even stand up. She's too exhausted, in too much pain, all she can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe she even needs Nicholas to feed her, lifting a spoon to her mouth. Or help her drink with a straw. Maybe her hair needs washing, and she has just enough energy to kneel over the bath while Nicholas washes it for her?
Migraine - Mia gets a horrible migraine and has to go lie down in the dark. Maybe it's just pain, maybe she's got nausea, visual symptoms, or neurological symptoms. But she feels absolutely shit. Nicholas sits with her, providing cuddles or stroking her hair, or maybe quietly reading to her? Maybe he bakes something lovely for her to eat as the symptoms are easing off?
Prompts for Hurt Nicholas
Angst
Mabrey - Nicholas could have so much angst in the wake of Mabrey's betrayal. He's now estranged from the person who (seemingly) raised him, and taking Mabrey back would only open Nicholas up to more hurt. Is he questioning whether every affectionate gesture was ever real? Worrying about what kind of man Mabrey might have made him into, what blindspots Mabrey instilled, questioning whether he's being cruel to Mia (or others) because he doesn't realise it'll hurt them? Regretting all the things he did as part of the plot to become king? Worrying that he won't be a good father, that he'll emulate Mabrey in ways he doesn't intend, that he doesn't know what a healthy relationship with a child looks like? (Nicholas clearly is a good, caring man... that doesn't mean he believes he is.)
Press Intrusion - The media are really scrutinising Nicholas (and Mia) at the moment, and she's finding it very tough. All the angst about needing to (appear to) be perfect, 100% of the time, and the psychological toll that has. The worries that he's not a good enough consort, not supporting Mia enough, and about what happens if he fails her. The worries about whether needing to present this perfect image is negatively affecting his relationship with Mia, changing his behaviour for the worse. (It isn't. But he worries - until she reassures him.) I love the trope of people needing to present a public mask and how they can only let their guard down in private - and how difficult it might be to operate like that. But also, maybe the fact he was once Mia's rival means the press constantly question his motives - wondering if he's sincere, if he's deceived her and still wants the crown, if he's actually a bad person. Does Mia need to reassure him that only her opinion of him matters? (And that Clarisse and Joe believe in him too?)
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Maybe from seasickness? But Nicholas spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Mia is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Mia is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Nicholas! Maybe about Mabrey? About losing Mia? Or maybe a dream where he got the crown, and he wakes up horrified by the whole experience. I just want him to wake up devastated and need Mia to comfort him.
Sickfic
Flu - Nicholas is so sick he can't even stand up. He's too exhausted, in too much pain, all he can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe he even needs Mia to feed him, lifting a spoon to his mouth.

James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy
I love Bones and his sassy grumpiness, and how under that he clearly cares (though possibly he wishes he didn't). Kirk starts off rebellious and traumatised, but obviously has a keen mind and an urge to protect people. Really enjoy both Bones despairing at young, reckless, flirty Kirk, and the more tender moments once Kirk mellows into a slightly-more-responsible captain, like when they're sharing the booze that Bones stole from Chekov.
(No preference for whether you call them Jim/Bones or Kirk/McCoy, use what you prefer.)
Prompts for Hurt Kirk:
Angst
Pining - Pining so bad he aches with it! Pining so bad he feels like he can't breathe! Maybe pining he doesn't even understand why because he's totally only into women, so there's no reason for Bones to make him feel this way - and then realising there is a reason only makes it worse! (The attraction is secretly mutual, but Kirk doesn't know that.)
Survivor's Guilt - His father sacrificed himself so Jim could live on the day he was born. He was literally born into survivor's guilt. Give me all of it, all the angst, Kirk thinking: Is he worthy? Will he ever live up to it? Would it have been better if he'd died and his father had lived? Is he a terrible person if he doesn't use his life well? Is he a terrible person because the weight of needing to live well is too much so he decided to live badly?? All of it!
Tarsus IV - Possibly not canon for this timeline, but too delicious to throw out. I'd like a mention of why he was there, but after that - maximum survivor's guilt, round 2! Now with actual memories of the people who died!
General art prompt - Kirk sobbing on his knees, Bones trying to comfort him.
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, could be an alien infection, but Kirk spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Bones is there to rub his back and stroke his hair. Probably with a side order of the least reassuring bedside manner ever.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Bones is there to rub his back and stroke his hair. Probably with a side order of the least reassuring bedside manner ever.
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Kirk! Could involve one of the subjects from the angst section, or about his stepfather screaming at him, or maybe he dreams that all of his crew die and it's his fault, whatever. I just want him to wake up devastated and need Bones to comfort him. Could be an Only One Bed scenario, or bedsharing in an established relationship.
Injury - Kirk gets injured during an away mission. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. And Bones looks after him as he recovers. Maybe has to look after him in the field, helping him get to safety, helping him walk?
Sickfic
Flu - Kirk's so sick he can't even stand up. He's too exhausted, in too much pain, all he can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe he even needs Bones to feed him, lifting a spoon to his mouth. Or help him drink with a straw. Could be in medbay, or in his own quarters.
Weird Alien Illness - As above, but with the added worry that they don't exactly know what it is. And maybe alarming things are happening (in a less comedic way than usual) like blue spots appearing on his skin? Of course, they figure out a cure. But not before Kirk gets some good suffering out of it.
Hanahaki - Pining, now in physical flower form! A confession will instantly cure him... but until then, coughing up petals and chest aches and slowly losing energy, worrying it might kill him. (Maybe hanahaki is rare, and they don't even realise what it means at first?)
Whump
Beaten Up - Alien bad guys get their hands on Kirk and beat him up. Bruises galore, maybe even cracked ribs, absolute agony all over... Everything will heal with no scars eventually. Eventually. Until then - Pain. So much pain.
Injuryless Torture - I didn't request Graphic Torture because I can't do the kinds that involve gore, but I love the kind where the torture is some kind of psychic/scifi thing which causes extreme pain without leaving any trace on the body. Turn that thing up to the max and make Kirk scream!
James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock
Reckless but brilliant Kirk, logical yet emotional Spock, sharp-tongued but compassionate Bones... I love the interplay between these three: snarking yet supporting, frustrated yet protective, so loyal even when they disagree. Each side of the triangle has such a different way of interacting, and I'm interested in all of those as well as how they blend into a trio. Whether they're mutually pining before they get together, or they're a solid established triad, I'd love to see some hesitant vulnerability as Kirk gets the shit whumped out of him.

Pavel Chekov/James T. Kirk
Chekov is so fucking adorable. I love his earnest enthusiasm, his innocence, and his extreme competency despite his age - and how that fits with Kirk, who's older, more traumatised, and chafes against the rules, but strives to protect his crew. They work so well together, and I really enjoyed how much of Beyond was just the two of them out in the wilds, with a slightly more mature Chekov showing he can handle himself in the field.
Would love to see them as a couple, with Kirk's captainly urges to keep people safe translating into him being soft and tender with a hurt Chekov - or Kirk trying to hide his own hurt from Chekov. I'd prefer if this was set after Beyond, i.e. when Chekov is 22 or older.
(No preference for whether you call them Jim/Pavel or Kirk/Chekov, use what you prefer.)

Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Chekov! Maybe their latest mission went wrong (and nearly went very wrong) and now it's haunting his dreams. I just want him to wake up devastated and need Kirk to comfort him. Could be an Only One Bed scenario, or bedsharing in an established relationship.
Injury - Chekov gets injured during an away mission. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. And Kirk looks after him as he recovers. Maybe has to look after him in the field, helping him get to safety, helping him walk?
Omegaverse Heat - Okay, hear me out: omega Chekov has a painful heat, and fucking would get rid of the pain, and they're both attracted to each other. But they don't fuck. Haven't confessed feelings yet? Alpha Kirk can't trust Chekov's consent because he gave it after the heat started? Chekov's a virgin and not ready to have sex? Whatever reason, Chekov's just got to struggle on through it - with Kirk comforting him, holding him close, letting Chekov inhale his scent... For hours. Also love the trope where omegas find a hand on the back of their neck instinctively really calming. (Similar to scruffing I guess?) And maybe Kirk uses that also?

James T. Kirk/Christopher Pike
I love that Pike was the first one to believe in Kirk - and the one who got Kirk to believe in himself. He finds this young guy losing a bar fight and tells him he can do more, be better, live up to not only his potential but his father's legacy. And Kirk hears that challenge and says no, I'll do even better than that.
But there's a tension between them: Pike encourages Kirk's out-of-the-box thinking and urge for heroics, but also expects him to follow the rules (or at least know which rules to break and when). Kirk wants that approval, wants to excel, but he's used to rebellion and reckless behaviour and is willing to risk more than other people are comfortable with. There's this push and pull where they're trying to find where the line should fall, and maybe that could play into how they are as a couple: not quite sure if their relationship is appropriate or it's going too far, if it's going to make Kirk a better man or screw him up more.
As a captain, Pike seems kind and steady but also willing to make unconventional choices, and he gives Kirk a chance to speak even when he's just stowed away on his ship. Kirk respects him and wants his respect in return but also chafes against the hierarchy of Starfleet. I'd love to see their relationship blossom into more, with Pike being encouraging but maybe also conflicted, and Kirk finding a sense of safety even as he's unsettled by commitment. Or maybe Kirk gets whumped before they get together.
Not looking for daddy kink here but Kirk's daddy issues are welcome. He obviously has some trauma with regards to his father (and presumably his abusive stepfather) and that's part of why he is the way he is. But with everything that happens in space, they probably both have some trauma due to the terrible things they've seen, maybe even PTSD, and that could play into the whump.
If you set this during or after Into Darkness please go AU and have Pike live! AUs where Kirk stayed as Pike's First Officer welcome too. (No preference for whether you call them Jim/Chris or Kirk/Pike, use what you prefer.)

James T. Kirk/Montgomery "Scotty" Scott
I love that Scotty is almost immediately loyal to Kirk, and that Kirk absolutely relies on him to get things done - even when Scotty's already resigned. And Scotty might complain, but he'll still rush to help him. I love how Scotty swings between almost innocent cheerfulness that turns to grumpiness when he feels unappreciated, and the humorous possibilities of that with his charming, flirty, almost reckless captain. Kirk's a good leader, but he's got trauma lurking beneath the surface, and I think Scotty would be kind with that. And they're both brilliant in their own ways.

Franklin "FDR" Foster/Tuck Hansen
I love these two and the dynamic they have: working smoothly together, protecting each other in danger, happily declaring their love for each other, bantering, hanging out. They're deeply competitive but deeply loyal, though there's also a fragility to their friendship. They're such different people - smooth, flirty FDR who hides his angsty past, and earnest, romantic Tuck who's longing for love but doesn't know how to find it - but they have such an easy rapport and genuinely like each other. (Except when they don't.)
They also do a lot of terrible things - for their jobs, but also socially - and I'm fine with that being acknowledged, in a "they're the same kind of terrible, and therefore perfect for each other" sort of way. But feel free to ignore that thread.
Prompts for Hurt FDR:
Angst
Pining - Pining so bad he aches with it! Pining so bad he feels like he can't breathe! Maybe pining he doesn't even understand why because he's totally only into women, so there's no reason for Tuck to make him feel this way - and then realising there is a reason only makes it worse! (The attraction is secretly mutual, but FDR doesn't know that.)
Framed - FDR gets framed as a double agent/traitor. Maybe he has to go on the run, and deal with the terror of being hunted down. And the angst of all his colleagues believing he's gone bad. Maybe Tuck is the only one who believes in him - but maybe even Tuck has a moment of doubt, and FDR's crushed by it? Maybe Tuck is even the one sent to interrogate FDR...
Hurt/Comfort
Nausea - Could be seasickness or similar, maybe he's been dosed with something by a baddie, but FDR spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. But Tuck is there to rub his back and stroke his hair, even if he isn't entirely soft about it.
Vomiting - Or maybe FDR does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Tuck is there to rub his back and stroke his hair, even if he isn't entirely soft about it.
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for FDR! Maybe a mission goes wrong, or nearly went very wrong, and he's haunted by it. I just want him to wake up devastated and need Scotty to comfort him. Could be an Only One Bed scenario, or bedsharing in an established relationship.
Injury - FDR gets injured during a mission. Nothing that's actually going to kill him, but blood and bruises and even cracked ribs are fine. And Tuck looks after him as he recovers. Maybe has to look after him in the field, helping him get to safety, helping him walk?
Sickfic
Flu - FDR's so sick he can't even stand up. He's too exhausted, in too much pain, all he can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe he even needs Tuck to feed him, lifting a spoon to his mouth. Or help him drink with a straw. Could be in medbay, or in his own quarters.
Hanahaki - Pining, now in physical flower form! A confession will instantly cure him... but until then, coughing up petals and chest aches and slowly losing energy, worrying it might kill him. (Maybe hanahaki is rare, and they don't even realise what it means at first?)
Whump
Beaten Up - Bad guys get their hands on FDR and beat him up. Bruises galore, maybe even cracked ribs, absolute agony all over... Everything will heal with no scars eventually. Eventually. Until then - Pain. So much pain.
Injuryless Torture - I didn't request Graphic Torture because I can't do the kinds that involve gore, but I love the kind where the torture is some kind of scifi thing which causes extreme pain without leaving any trace on the body. So, some supervillain has invented a thing? Turn it up to the max and make FDR scream!
Amaya/Magnifico of Rosas
I loved the soft relationship these two had. Calm, confident, practical Amaya organising things to smooth Magnifico's work, but also gently steering and comforting him when he's tempted by darkness. Focused, arrogant, brilliant Magnifico dazzling his subjects, but revealing a softer and more vulnerable side when alone with his wife, happily taking her advice.
Despite his downfall, I do believe he really loved her, so I'd prefer them to be happily together at the end of the fic - even if things are complicated. I DNW breakups, so I don't want to see her abandon him because the book has turned him irreversibly evil. But Magnifico using the book and Amaya freeing him from its influence, resulting in an angsty situation with a penitent Magnifico, is totally fine. Also pre-canon whump, where their relationship is loving but the surrounding situation is more bittersweet.
Prompts for Hurt Magnifico:
Angst
Childhood Trauma - The childhood loss of his family was clearly so traumatic that it's influenced his motivation and his actions ever since. Learning magic, becoming king, granting wishes... It's all because he never wants to feel that pain again, never wants anyone else to feel it either. And his absolute desperation to hold to his methods of preventing that (even when they're destructive) suggests that the pain he carries is still massive, even decades later. Anything about this subject: Him opening up to Amaya about it for the first time, pre-canon? Having a particularly emotional day and needing her comfort? His thoughts during any scene in canon, as he fears events are going to hurt him again? (And Amaya comforting him through that?) Something post-canon where he tries to heal from that trauma, with Amaya's help?
Redemption - Magnifico has his villain turn (whether he uses the book or not) and then gets redeemed... Now he has to deal with the consequences of that, forever. He clearly loved being king, loved having that positive attention - now he has a whole kingdom of former subjects who've seen the worst version of him. How does he win them over again? Can he even win them over? How long is it going to take him to wear down that fear, that mistrust? How much is he going to have to sacrifice, to flagellate, to wallow in his angst before people can see the good in him? Him opening up to Amaya, and receiving support and comfort, very welcome.
Hurt/Comfort
Nightmares - No gory imagery please, but very psychologically distressing for Magnifico! Involving one of the subjects from the angst section maybe? I just want him to wake up devastated and need Amaya to comfort him.
Magical Mishap - A spell goes wrong, and injures Magnifico. Or leaves a lingering sensation of pain for a while. As he recovers, Amaya comforts him.
Nausea - Maybe he got really seasick on the ship to Rosas? Or it's the aftereffect of a failed spell? But Magnifico spends hours feeling like he's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Amaya is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Vomiting - Or maybe he does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe? Magic of a failed spell is lingering in his stomach and needs to be removed?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, his stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Amaya is there to rub his back and stroke his hair.
Amaya/Asha/Magnifico of Rosas
I thought the relationships between all three were so interesting, and I'd love to see Amaya and Magnifico fold Asha into their established marriage. Obviously there's a big age difference, so maybe they'd all be hesitant about the idea to begin with - but please either let some time elapse so Asha's 18, or make it an AU where she was 18 to begin with. But I loved Amaya's soft and supportive marriage to Magnifico, and how soft and supportive she was of Asha too. And Asha and Magnifico had such a connection during her interview (before it all went off the rails). How would they function as a three?
No irredeemably evil Magnifico for this ship, please - I'd like him to be a sympathetic figure instead.

Asha/Magnifico of Rosas
I enjoyed this film, but it left me craving more of certain ideas. Mainly an apprentice Asha AU, Magnifico being softer - or Magnifico being even worse.
I kinda felt like they couldn't decide what Magnifico's motivation was. Like whether he was a purely evil villain powered by arrogance and a need for control, or whether he was a sympathetic antagonist crushed by the pressure of kingship and past trauma. I'd prefer misguided good guy Magnifico if he's the hurt one, but for hurt Asha it depends on the type of whump requested. Even if he's a good guy that genuinely cares, feel free to make him arrogant and a bit manipulative - or to turn those traits to the max if he's evil.
Between Asha's interview and them duetting on what was basically a love song, I both shipped these two and really wanted to see them as mentor/apprentice. I love Asha's determination, her compassion, her righteousness, and her quirky goofiness - but if your work suits her being more serious, that's fine. Apprentice AU, canon plotline, or other canon divergence are all welcome.
Please either make this an AU where Asha is already 18, or have a time skip so she's an adult. And please either give Magnifico and Amaya an open relationship, or make it an AU where they were never a couple... Unless you're going with fully evil Magnifico, in which case I'm fine with him cheating on Amaya and/or nonconning Asha. Otherwise, consensual, please.
(If Magnifico's a sympathetic figure who turns to darkness, please leave the door open for redemption. But fully evil Magnifico doesn't need redemption - in fact, I'm fine with a Villain Wins AU.)
Prompts for Hurt Asha
Hurt/Comfort
Magical Mishap - Apprentice Asha gets hurt by a misfiring spell. Maybe she's injured, maybe it just inflicts a lingering sensation of pain. As she recovers, Magnifico looks after her. (Maybe the spell misfire was her fault, and Magnifico comforts her about that too.)
Injury - Maybe during the canon plot events, Magnifico or his magic injure Asha - and it makes him realise he doesn't want to hurt her. Instead he turns and looks after her, stopping the bleeding, carrying her to safety, taking care of her as she heals - or using his magic to heal her. Or maybe when he was slamming her around with the green magic tendrils, she got really bruised up, even cracked a few ribs?
Nausea - The aftereffect of a failed spell maybe? (Him deliberately cursing her?) But Asha spends hours feeling like she's a hair's breadth from throwing up. And Magnifico is there to rub her back and fill her with soothing magic.
Vomiting - Or maybe she does throw up. Or needs to be made to throw up. (Ingested poison, maybe? Magic of a failed spell is lingering in her stomach and needs to be removed?) Maybe even throws up multiple times, till nothing's coming out, her stomach's cramping up, and every new round of retching feels like torture... But Magnifico is there to rub her back, hold her hair back, and fill her with soothing magic.
Omegaverse Heat - Okay, hear me out: omega Asha has a painful heat, and fucking would get rid of the pain, and they're both attracted to each other. But they don't fuck. Haven't confessed feelings yet? Alpha Magnifico can't trust Asha's consent because she gave it after the heat started? Asha's a virgin and not ready to have sex? Whatever reason, Asha's just got to struggle on through it - with Magnifico comforting her, holding her close, letting Asha inhale his scent... For hours. Also love the trope where omegas find a hand on the back of their neck instinctively really calming. (Similar to scruffing I guess?) And maybe Magnifico uses that also?
Hurt/Non-Consensual Comfort - Whether she falls and hurts herself trying to escape him, he deliberately injures her with magic, or some magic (his or Star's) accidentally hurts her... But now Asha's in pain, and evil Magnifico is gently comforting her. Only she doesn't want him to, and that's another hurt in itself. Maybe it doesn't even seem like he's sincere, and that's kinda terrifying.
Rape
Magnifico noncons Asha. Maybe he's gentle about it, treating her like a lover - maybe she even comes, and feels ashamed. Maybe he's rougher, even using the green magic hands to tear her clothes off and hold her down, hold her legs open? But he intimately violates her. (Maybe Asha's even a virgin? Omega Asha/alpha Magnifico could work here too, with all the extra tropes that brings.) Maybe he gently - but not necessarily sincerely - comforts her afterwards too, and that just makes it worse.
Sickfic
Flu - Asha's so sick she can't even stand up. She's too exhausted, in too much pain, all she can do is sprawl in bed and groan. Maybe she even needs Magnifico to feed her, lifting a spoon to her mouth. Or help her drink with a straw. Maybe he visits her at home, maybe she's his guest at the castle, maybe they're already a couple... Maybe she's his prisoner, locked in a cell.
Magical Illness - As above, but it's caused by magic. Maybe it was an accident (a spell misfire? she touched an artifact she shouldn't have?) but now Asha is sick. And kind sorcerer Magnifico is the only one who can heal her... or maybe evil Magnifico did it to her on purpose. Can he be convinced to stop?
