Ships Crossing 2025

[forswornn]

Thank you for creating something for me! My username is forsworn and I opted into fic or art for all requests. I'm happy with ratings from G to Explicit for sexual content and G to T for violence. (Blood is okay, pain is great, but I don't want exposed organs or bones poking out or things like that.) I'd love anything from the softest fluff to the kinkiest smut, from feelsy hurt/comfort to angsty mutual pining, to fantastical adventures. Treats are welcome!

No preference for whether A ends up in B's world or B ends up in A's. And my prompts are just suggestions: if you have a better idea for how these characters meet, go with it! I'm just excited to see my blorbos together.

Art DNWs:

• This is technically already covered by the "sex while in animal form" DNW above, but to be specific about how it applies to art: no furry/anthro porn please. (But non-porn furry/anthro is welcome!)

Hurt/Comfort Likes:

• Emotional hurt/comfort. Physical hurt/comfort. Whump. Mild hurt/comfort.
  
• Nightmares. Flashbacks. Crying. Staying with character B as they fall asleep.
  
• Impact bruises. Being manually choked. Twisted ankles.

• Bedside vigils. Holding injured character close. Carrying or supporting someone who can't walk. Character A catching character B as they collapse (even if character A isn't strong enough to hold them up and just helps slow their descent to the floor). Helping injured character undress, remove armour, etc.
  
• Seasickness. Morning sickness. "Oh no, that thing you just ate was poisoned." 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.
  
• Struggling through sex pollen/an omegaverse heat/etc without having sex, only giving non-sexual comfort for the symptoms.
  
• Premature ejaculation. Erectile dysfunction. Shame over sexual desires.
  
• The awkward vulnerability of comfort requiring a new level of intimacy.
  
• Stern/gruff characters making tiny gestures as a comforter and the comfortee understanding that significance. A comforter understanding when the comfortee only wants tiny gestures, and the comfortee being grateful for that understanding. People who are comfortable with each other giving and accepting large amounts of comfort.
  
• Stoic hurt characters refusing to break down. Stoic hurt characters letting it all out.
  
• I love both the hurt and comfort parts of the equation! Go heavy on one part and less on the other, or have an equal mix of both.

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).
  
• Moods: Gentle sex. Tender sex. Fluffy sex. Hurt/comfort sex. Sex with lots of feelings. Vulnerability and trust.
  
• BDSM: Dom/sub. Bondage. Pinned down. Kneeling. Collaring. Praise kink. Orgasm delay/edging. BDSM AUs.
  
• 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.

Tristan Farnon/Duncan Idaho
All Creatures Great and Small (TV 2020)/Dune (Movies - Villeneuve)

These two would just be such fun to fling at each other. I love charming, flirty Tristan, who's used to blowing off his work - though he does have a good heart, and he's buckling down more as the show goes on. And I have so many feelings about tragic Duncan - so honourable, so loyal, so self-sacrificing... and so charming and playful. I think they could have a lot of fun together, but also build a deeper connection too if they wanted. But maybe there'd be a little friction, if Duncan started getting protective of Tristan, who's maybe fed up of getting that from Siegfried. (Though I think Tristan would perk up when Duncan makes it clear his intentions are not brotherly at all...)

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe some Bene Gesserit weirdness, some spice oddness, or a strange artifact like the painbox somehow sends Duncan all the way back to the Yorkshire Dales. Does he get dropped into a field full of sheep that Tristan is (reluctantly) vetting? Or does Tristan find this giant stranger wandering around Darrowby, mildly alarming the locals? Maybe Duncan naturally finds his way to the pub - he seems like he knows how to have fun - and Tristan links up with him there? I can see them becoming fast friends, even without the aid of some alcohol - but especially with it. But maybe eventually they sober up and Tristan decides to help Duncan find his way home?
  
• Or maybe somehow it's Duncan's death at the hands of the Sardaukar which sends him, alive and healthy and pretty confused, to Darrowby. What does he make of this new place and new life? Maybe Tristan takes Duncan under his wing, helps him find his footing, cheers Duncan up when he's feeling homesick. (Is it even possible for them to send Duncan home? Does he find himself increasingly not wanting to leave anyway?)
  
• Maybe Tristan somehow finds himself travelling to the far future. Maybe there's a local legend about a cave and on a drunken dare he goes to explore it, or finds a little hidden passage somewhere in Darrowby, or... But suddenly he's in a strange place called Caladan, and everyone's very tense about protecting their duke. Can Tristan talk his way out of trouble? Is Duncan initially wary of him, worried that he's a Harkonnen spy? Maybe Triss is so obviously harmless that Duncan slips into teasing him instead. Or maybe Triss somehow bumbles into a night on the town, and Duncan meets him in a relaxed capacity?
  
• Or maybe Tristan arrives on Arrakis about the same time that House Atreides do. Does he accidentally get giddy on spice? Does he hear that Paul's predicted Duncan will die, and find himself unexpectedly upset by the idea?
  
• I can definitely see these two having a great night out. Tristan is well used to indulging himself at the local pub, and Duncan seems like the type to know all kinds of filthy songs - even if he pretends to be the respectable weapons master. Drinking, singing, card games, making out in a dark corner... I can imagine them getting up to it all.
  
• As a vet, is Tristan interested by the strange new wildlife on this alien planet he's landed on? Caladan is mostly sea - does it have some spectacular fish? Maybe Tristan thinks Arrakis's kangaroo mice are adorable. Maybe he hears about the sandworms and wants to see one... from as far away as it's possible to actually see. (Close up, no thank you.) Or is Tristan (pretending to be) aloof and above it all?
  
• Considering the time and place he's from, I wouldn't be surprised if Tristan has never been with a man - but maybe Duncan and the relaxed attitudes of the far future open up new possibilities for him. But maybe Triss's awkward charm would slip much more towards the flustered side as Duncan makes a move on him. But I think they'd end up having a lot of fun.

Visual Prompts

• Laughing, singing and/or drinking together.
  
• Grinning and leaning close as they flirt.
  
• Duncan stepping close to adjust Tristan's grip on a sword, as he attempts to teach him some self-defense.
  
• Undressing each other.
  
• Tristan tangling his fingers in Duncan's long hair as they kiss - or fuck.
  
• Duncan riding Tristan's cock.

Ekko/Xenk Yendar
Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)/Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

The boy saviour and the cursed paladin... I feel like these two have a lot in common. They're both willing to sacrifice their own happiness or safety to protect others. They can be sharp and stern even though they care so much. They're kind, but willing to throw down when the need arises. Both of them lost their families in traumatic ways, right in front of them. So many parallels. I think they'd really understand each other, and hopefully be able to help each other with their angst, offering hope and reassurance.

But that doesn't automatically mean it would be easy. Magic is considered dangerous in Runeterra - would Ekko be unsettled by Xenk's paladin powers? And would Xenk be unsettled by Ekko being unsettled, especially over the one thing that's generally considered purely good about him? But on the other hand, Ekko would have no reason to think badly of Thayans - maybe that'd be a breath of fresh air for Xenk. I'd love to see these two kind, angsty men being kind to each other over their angst. They really have so much in common. The big difference is that I get autistic vibes from Xenk, whereas I don't from Ekko - though obviously he's a skilled inventor. Maybe they could geek out together? And maybe Xenk would worry about the age gap - but if you want to set this earlier in Xenk's timeline, when he's closer to Ekko's age, I'm fine with that.

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe instead of sending him to Powder's world, the wild rune (or some other hextech thing) sends Ekko to Faerun. Does Xenk find this lost young man and promise to help him find a way home? Maybe Ekko arrives while Xenk is in the middle of a fight against some baddies - and jumps in to help Xenk. But maybe their opponent(s) have magic, and Ekko gets surprised by it - and thus injured by it. And then Xenk has to gently heal him? Maybe afterwards Ekko decides to join Xenk in whatever noble quest he's on, whether against evil cultists or cackling gnolls or dangerous Red Wizards.
  
• Or maybe a strange artifact or a malfunctioning spell sends Xenk to Runeterra. Does Ekko have to rescue this intensely earnest man wandering the alleys of Zaun? Maybe Xenk's sense of justice is offended by all the suffering in Zaun, when Piltover causes so much of it. Or maybe he's horrified by all that Shimmer. But maybe this is a post-series Runeterra, which is just starting to heal - even if Ekko's emotional wounds aren't. Or maybe it's sometime during the series, and Ekko welcomes Xenk to the Firelights hideout?
  
• However they get thrown together, maybe they also get captured and imprisoned together. Maybe the vulnerability of that leads them to open up and discuss their trauma. Maybe one of them has a nightmare while they're locked up, and the other one gently comforts him. Or maybe they just strategise the perfect plan, break out, and enact justice on their captors.
  
• But I'd also love a softer, fluffier scene, with them eating together by a campfire or in a tavern, or just getting to have a nice chat. They both deserve a break.
  
• Between his paladin vows and the way people treat Thayans, I tend to assume Xenk is a virgin. Ekko's younger, but I can see him having some experience - physical pleasure seems like one of the few joys in Zaun. That could make for an interesting dynamic, with older Xenk the more hesitant one. Maybe he's not willing to do more than kiss - but maybe Ekko is so kind and trustworthy that Xenk is happy to share that with him, and they end up having a great time.

Visual Prompts

• Ekko holding Xenk's hand as he shows him the wonderful tree in the Firelights hideout.
  
• Xenk cradling an injured Ekko close, healing him with a glowing touch of magic.
  
• Both of them reading as they quietly cuddle up.
  
• Xenk clinging to Ekko as he gives him a ride on his hoverboard.
  
• Protecting each other in battle.
  
• Xenk helping Ekko refresh the white mark on his face. Or maybe Ekko tenderly touching the mark on Xenk's forehead.
  
• One of them comforting the other after a nightmare.
  
• A tender kiss.
  
• Undressing each other.
  
• One of them riding the other's cock.
  
• One of them gently penetrating each other.

Viktor/Xenk Yendar
Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)/Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

I feel like stern but kind Xenk could offer some of the reassurance that Viktor really needs. Viktor's brilliant and determined, and shrugs off other people's bad opinions - but he clearly also resents being disabled. Maybe Xenk could help Viktor see himself in a more positive light - and steer him towards a better fate? Or maybe he meets a post-canon Viktor, living with the guilt of all he did - I think Xenk would be gentle with him too. And Viktor, with all his own troubles, might be one of the few to look at visibly undead(ish) Xenk and see past his curse - but still understand the nuance of struggling with something like that. We don't hear about Viktor's family, but he grew up in Zaun - Xenk's probably not the first person he's met who lost their family in a traumatic way. Maybe Viktor himself even did. Once upon a time, Viktor hoped to make the world better - maybe Xenk's paladin commitment inspires Viktor to be a force for good again. But Viktor seems like he has a sharp tongue, and maybe that'd be a source of tension - Xenk clearly has a sense of humour, but he's so literal that he probably takes dry wit as earnest statements. But maybe Viktor would learn what makes Xenk laugh?

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe a malfunction with some Hextech or the Hexcore sends Viktor to Faerun. Does Xenk find this sharp young man wandering around and promise to find a way to send him home? Maybe Viktor gets dropped into the middle of a tense situation, or even a battle, and Xenk has to protect him.
  
• Or maybe the explosion at the end of the series sends a restored Viktor to Faerun. Maybe all that magic healed whatever was wrong with his lungs - or maybe Xenk can heal him with a spell. But Viktor's surely living with the guilt of all he did, and that's not an easy burden - especially when he's been dropped into another world, and can't actually atone to the people he hurt. But maybe Xenk shows Viktor a way to make a difference in this new world? Maybe it takes Viktor a while to see it, but he agrees to join Xenk on whatever noble quest he's currently undertaking anyway - and Xenk's example (and moral speeches) slowly win him over.
  
• Or maybe a strange artifact or a malfunctioning spell sends Xenk to Runeterra. Does Viktor recognise a fellow fish out of water when he finds Xenk wandering around Piltover? Or maybe Viktor runs into Xenk while on a visit back to Zaun - and has to interrupt the paladin before Xenk's sense of justice gets him into trouble, when faced with all the suffering in Zaun.
  
• Or maybe somehow a malfunction with Hextech or the Hexcore pulls Xenk straight to Viktor's (and Jayce's) lab. Now he's stuck trying to send a very confused paladin home, with Xenk marvelling at Viktor's engineering skill. But if they can't figure the solution out quickly, maybe they get a softer moment among all that intensity, as they take a break to grab some food, or for Viktor to show Xenk a little of Piltover. Or maybe they work so hard and so long that they fall asleep in the lab. Does Xenk have a nightmare, and Viktor attempts to comfort him? Maybe Viktor wakes up coughing blood, and Xenk soothes him with some magic?
  
• If the Old Mage version of Viktor is anything to go by, he's capable of learning magic - maybe it's Xenk who teaches him? Xenk seems like he'd be a patient if stern teacher, and I'd love the intimacy of that kind of mentorship.
  
• Between his paladin vows and the way people treat Thayans, I tend to assume Xenk is a virgin. Viktor has some conflicted feelings about his own body, so I can equally imagine him as anywhere from very experienced to a complete virgin too. But I can see Viktor wanting to share that kind of pleasure with kind, trustworthy Xenk - even if Xenk himself is hesitant, and not prepared to do more than kiss. But maybe they've built up a strong bond, so Xenk is happy to try it? Or maybe during their adventures, one or both of them get sex pollened, and they tenderly look after each other during that dubcon experience.

Visual Prompts

• Xenk protecting Viktor in battle - though maybe Viktor's making a good attempt at defense with his cane.
  
• An intense conversation, maybe as Viktor explains some complicated Hextech to Xenk.
  
• Xenk pressing close to heal Viktor, whether because he's been coughing up blood or because he was injured in battle.
  
• Runes or colourful sparks swirling around them as Xenk patiently teaches Viktor magic.
  
• A tender kiss.
  
• Undressing each other.
  
• One of them riding the other's cock.
  
• One of them gently penetrating the other.

Simon Basset/Fifteenth Doctor/Rogue
Bridgerton (TV)/Doctor Who (2005)

The Bridgerton episode meets Bridgerton! I'd love to see how their personalities play off each other. Sharp-tongued, secretly angsty Simon, who's trying to be honourable despite his rakish ways. Brave, endlessly compassionate Fifteen, who'll also cheekily dance Kylie at you. Reserved, intense Rogue, who'd sacrifice his own recently-found happiness to save his new love's best friend. They all have their scars - but maybe they could heal together?

(Totally okay with you skipping over an explanation of how Fifteen and Rogue are back together. Could be a fix-it, where they found another solution and never got separated, or the Doctor could have succeeded in rescuing Rogue before they meet Simon, but you can just handwave the issue entirely. Unless you want that to be part of your plot!)

Narrative Prompts

• The TARDIS lands in Regency England again, and their attempts to stop alien shenanigans result in them teaming up with Simon. Maybe he just happens to be around and gets sucked into events, or maybe Simon's been captured by the aliens and the Doctor and Rogue break him out, before they all stop the plot together?
  
• Maybe some timey-wimey weirdness happens and Simon gets flung into another time, and that chronological anomaly pulls the Doctor and Rogue to him? And they banter and flirt while trying to solve the mystery and get Simon home.
  
• Or they pick Simon up and deliberately take him on an adventure - showing him another time, or another planet, and all of its wonders. Maybe it's just a lovely outing, but you know what usually happens when the Doctor goes somewhere.
  
• Or the Doctor and Rogue get to have a lovely time in Regency England - attending another ball, or a garden party, or a boxing match, or gossiping as they promenade, or drinking and gaming at White's - and nothing interrupts them at all. But they do meet a handsome, flirty rake...

Visual Prompts

• Laughing and drinking together.
  
• Holding hands as they run from hostile aliens.
  
• The Doctor and Rogue each kissing one of Simon's cheeks.
  
• Huddling for warmth.
  
• Battered and bruised, comforting each other with a hug.
  
• Helping each other out of those gorgeous Regency clothes.
  
• Simon sandwiched between the Doctor and Rogue in bed.

Simon Basset/Edgin Darvis
Bridgerton (TV)/Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

I think these two could play off each other in interesting ways. Both of them are hiding their trauma - Simon via sharp words, Edgin via cheerful charm. Simon is a rake, and Edgin is a bard - though his charm doesn't usually seem seductive, but maybe it would be here? Maybe they could relax and have some fun together, whether drinking or luteplaying or having casual sex. Maybe they'd form a deeper connection, digging up a little tenderness as they help each other with their angst. Edgin feels like a failed father, Simon was failed by his father - does approaching their issues from opposite angles mean they can offer a good perspective to help each other heal?

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe Simon finds a portal hidden in an old mansion, or an object that transports him when he touches it, and ends up in Faerun. He tends to use humour as a weapon when he feels hurt or vulnerable - would he turn the banter to max if he got dropped into a dangerous situation?
  Would he use his boxing skills to defend himself?
  
• Or maybe he arrives in a tavern, and he gets to relax and have fun with Edgin. Does Edgin teach him the local card game - and they end up making some naughty bets? Does Simon get to see Edgin perform? Or do they just end up bantering and flirting while both drinking at the bar?
  
• Maybe it's Edgin who gets sent to Regency times, via a magical artifact or a failed spell from the other Simon. Does he arrive at the gentleman's club, and have fun drinking and gambling with Simon there? Or arrive at a ball, and have to use his charm to pretend he belongs there?
  
• Maybe once they're several drinks deep they start to open up to each other, talking about their angsty pasts, and end up consoling each other. Or maybe those drinks just lead to them kissing?
  
• Totally down for some filthy smut here. Maybe Simon's never been with a man because Britain's anti-sodomy laws are so severe, but Faerun doesn't have anything like that. So when he has the opportunity for some no-strings, no-danger sex with an attractive guy, Simon jumps at the chance. And Edgin's happy to show him the ropes.

Visual Prompts

• Edgin playing his lute for Simon.
  
• A shirtless Simon trying to give a boxing lesson to Edgin, who's unenthusiastic about the exercise and/or very distracted by Simon's lack of shirt.
  
• Drinking together.
  
• Leaning in close as they flirt.
  
• One of them comforting the other, with a hand on the shoulder or a hug, maybe after a nightmare.
  
• A passionate kiss, maybe inside a regency carriage.
  
• Undressing each other.
  
• Edgin riding Simon's cock.

Simon Basset/Xenk Yendar
Bridgerton (TV)/Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

Two very different men who share a face. Maybe Simon and his charm would get Xenk to relax and open up a little. Maybe paladin Xenk would appreciate how seriously Simon takes his vow - or maybe he'd question whether Simon was acting against his own interests out of pain. They both had angsty childhoods, but Simon turned to rakishness while Xenk turned to serving others. Maybe Xenk inspires a little selflessness in Simon? Or Simon convinces Xenk to go to bed with him? Or maybe they find some comfort of a more emotional kind, helping each other deal with their trauma.

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe Simon finds a portal hidden in an old mansion, or an object that transports him when he touches it, and ends up in Faerun. He tends to use humour as a weapon when he feels hurt or vulnerable - would he turn the banter to max if he got dropped into a dangerous situation?
  Would he use his boxing skills to defend himself? Maybe he gets injured, and Xenk has to heal him.
  
• Or maybe Xenk is torn between compassion and suspicion. Is Xenk worried that Simon's eerie similarity is some trick by the Red Wizards? How would Simon gain his trust? (Is Simon intrigued by the mark on Xenk's forehead, not understanding what it means?)
  
• Maybe it's Xenk who gets sent to Regency times. Does he cause a stir by arriving during a ball, either because he's so intensely serious, or because people notice his similarity to Simon? Maybe he arrives at the gentlemen's club, and Simon has to drag him into a dark corner before all the drunk people realise there's two of them wandering around? Or maybe Simon bumps into Xenk on the street, while the paladin is trying to be ridiculously kind at someone?
  
• Some people have suggested Xenk's line about "you may have forsworn your oath but your oath hasn't forsworn you" means he can actually see the oaths binding a person somehow - so maybe he can see Simon's! Does he gently bring it up, hoping for more details so he can soothe his pain? Or can Xenk already see the details and pain bound up in them, and finds another way to be soft with him?

Visual Prompts

• Xenk protecting Simon from danger.
  
• Simon leaning close to Xenk, smirking as he flirts or banters with him.
  
• Xenk holding Simon while he cries.
  
• Simon gently touching the mark on Xenk's forehead.
  
• Xenk gently touching Simon's chest, above his heart, with some visual representation of Simon's vow - perhaps a glowing string wrapped around him, or a glyph on his skin?
  
• A hesitant kiss - or a passionate one.
  
• Both of them still fully clothed, one of them on his knees, (about to) suck the other's cock.

Benedict Bridgerton/Lestat de Lioncourt
Bridgerton (TV)/Interview with the Vampire (TV 2022)

I saw this nominated for Battleship and was fascinated by the idea. Benedict is so sweet, earnest, full of creativity, and exploring his libertine side. Lestat is an unabashed hedonist, a veil of charm over sheer violence, but also a true lover of the arts. And they're both canonically bisexual! I feel like their personalities would collide in interesting ways. Seems like they could easily meet too. Maybe they'd appreciate some culture together, or maybe just have some intense casual sex. I think there's a lot you could explore here.

Please don't have Lestat turn Benedict into a vampire or do anything really bad to him - but blood drinking and a general sense of restrained danger are fine!

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe they meet at an art gallery, striking up a conversation as they inspect the same painting. Does Lestat intrigue Benedict by making insightful comments? Or amuse him by making the scathing critique that Benedict was thinking but not saying, due to Danbury's trick with Granville that time? Maybe it's actually Benedict's own painting, and Lestat's compliments lead them to the studio - or a dark and private corner. Or maybe they're both distracted by the same, surprisingly erotic, statue?
  
• Or maybe they meet at the opera. Does Lestat impress Benedict with his deep knowledge? Make him laugh with some cutting remarks about the subpar performance? Seduce him during the interval?
  
• Or maybe they run into each other at the gentleman's club. Did Lestat charm his way in alone? Was he brought as a guest - but fixates on Benedict instead as soon as their eyes meet? Maybe Lestat and Benedict end up playing cards together - but as the game draws on and the other players drop out, the wagers start getting unexpectedly... intimate.
  
• Lestat is so good for teasing and flirtation. If you want to do something where he playfully seduces an increasingly flustered Benedict via honeyed words, that would be great fun to see! (My focus for this prompt is the humour and/or tension, so I'm totally fine with fade to black - or Benedict getting overwhelmed and fleeing the situation. But if you do want it to progress to smut...)
  
• Lestat's mind gift could create some fun too. Maybe Benedict thinks Lestat is just predicting his thoughts really well - but is dazzled, intrigued and/or unsettled by it all the same. Maybe Lestat uses it while they're kissing or even having sex, and Benedict realises this is a predator who can read his mind - but the things Lestat's using it for feel too good to deny.
  
• I always love a good blood drinking scene. With or without a side of smut, make it as sensual as you like.
  
• However they meet, maybe the end result is them having sex together - whether it's a stolen moment of pleasure in a dark corner, heightened by the frisson of possible discovery, or a slower and more sensual exploration in private, I think these two could have a great time. Maybe you want to do this as an AU where Lestat is Benedict's first sexual experience with a man. Or maybe this is a Benedict who's already confident sleeping with other men - though maybe he feels a little hesitation, because he either suspects or discovers that Lestat is a vampire. But that's not going to stop him. Is it a sensual vanilla experience? Or does Lestat, with all his experience and vampire ennui, introduce Benedict to some kinks to spice things up?

Visual Prompts

• Lestat leaning close to a flustered Benedict, in a dark corner of an art gallery or opera box or wherever...
  
• Sharing a carriage - and making the most of that privacy.
  
• Benedict painting a portrait of a seductively lounging (and possibly naked) Lestat.
  
• Lestat drinking Benedict's blood.
  
• Playing a card game together - possibly with their cravats undone and jackets removed (or more) due to sexy bets.
  
• Undressing each other.
  
• Benedict tangling his fingers in Lestat's hair as they kiss - or fuck.

Simon Basset/Nicholas Devereaux
Bridgerton (TV)/Princess Diaries (Movies)

Charismatic rakes with complicated family legacies and secretly soft hearts ahoy! I would love to see what these two make of each other, whether they have a conversation full of their shared vulnerabilities or they just decide to fuck. Maybe Simon's sharp tongue means they'd initially clash, or maybe they'd recognise each other as kindred spirits.

I'm imagining this would happen via a timeslip: one of them touches an object or just walks around a corner and finds themselves 200 years in the past/future. Maybe it happens at the palace in Genovia, while Nicholas is staying there - maybe Simon is travelling the continent? Or maybe Nicholas is visiting Simon's gentlemen's club? Or anywhere you think they could reasonably both happen to be.

(Please set this before either one of them gets with their canon love interests!)

Narrative Prompts

• If Simon gets sent to the future: discovering the wonders (and weirdness) of modern-ish life! Television, phones, cars? Trying on 2004 fashions - and possibly being deeply unimpressed? Maybe Nicholas introduces him to rugby - with all the sweaty invasion of personal space that involves?
  
• If Nicholas gets sent to the past: Regency outfits! Balls and parties! Scandalous gossip in atmospheric settings! Nicholas initially sticks out like a sore thumb, and maybe Simon sasses him a bit - then helps him fit in. Maybe teaches him how to dance? (Or, I'm not entirely sure the timeline of this works out, but maybe Nicholas's ancestor King Chevalier is on the throne? Maybe Simon helps Nicholas meet him - or they discover a plot they have to thwart.)
  
• Maybe they go drinking together and Nicholas starts talking about his manipulative uncle - and Simon opens up about his terrible father? Or maybe Simon keeps it bottled up, internally brooding, and just offers Nicholas advice while angsting away?
  
• Simon went to Oxford and Nicholas went to Cambridge. Does this result in a friendly rivalry and some teasing?
  
• Maybe being out of one's time has a negative effect, like slowly increasing pain, and the timelost one needs the other's help to get back home. (Maybe the timelost one collapses and the other one catches them.)
  
• Totally down for some filthy smut here. Maybe Simon's never been with a man because Britain's anti-sodomy laws are so severe, but maybe Genovia never had them - and Nicholas's time certainly doesn't. So when he has the opportunity for some no-strings, no-danger sex with an attractive guy, Simon jumps at the chance.

Visual Prompts

• Nicholas cooking for Simon.
  
• Nicholas reading with his head in Simon's lap.
  
• A passionate kiss.
  
• Undressing each other.
  
• Nicholas riding Simon's cock.

Simon Basset/James T. Kirk
Bridgerton (TV)/Star Trek: Alternate Original Series

Two handsome rakes who both lost a parent on the day they were born - and then seemingly grew up with abusive (step)fathers afterward. I feel like they'd understand each other's trauma and survivor's guilt... if they can put down their charming masks long enough to let the other one close. Maybe they'd just start out with the aim to have fun together, but then something would push them towards a vulnerable honest moment? Simon's sharp tongue would be an interesting counterpoint to Kirk's smoother charm. But would Kirk's reckless heroism inspire secretly-dutiful Simon - or make him worry, for reasons he maybe doesn't understand?

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe a transporter malfunction or a strange alien artifact sends Kirk to Regency England. Does he arrive in the middle of a ball and cause a stir? Maybe he tries to charm his way out of the situation - or maybe Simon has to rescue him. Maybe Simon rescues him, then goes hard on the banter. Is Kirk fixated on getting home, and does Simon help him - reluctantly, or earnestly? Maybe Kirk gets to enjoy the evening a little first, with Simon plying him with delicious food and drink. Maybe they even get to dance together, though possibly hidden from the other dancers.
  
• Or maybe Kirk lands in the gentlemen's club. Does this also result in some drinking? Even a bit of gambling? Kirk's got a great mind for strategy and maths - maybe he racks up a lot of wins. (Maybe they end up making sexy bets on the game, and Simon doesn't mind losing at all.)
  
• Maybe Simon finds a portal hidden in an old mansion, or an object that transports him when he touches it, and ends up on whichever planet the Enterprise crew are exploring this week. Simon tends to use humour as a weapon when he feels hurt or vulnerable - would he turn the banter to max if he got dropped into a dangerous situation? Would he use his boxing skills to defend himself? Maybe Kirk is the one in trouble, and Simon comes to his rescue - and they team up to solve whatever plot is happening, before Kirk can turn to the problem of sending Simon home.
  
• At some point during their adventures or drunken shenanigans, maybe they have an earnest moment of melancholy where they start opening up about their trauma. Or maybe they end up sharing a bed - for sex reasons, or because there was only one bed... and then one of them has a nightmare, and the other one ends up comforting him.
  
• Considering the time Simon is from, maybe he's never been with another man. Kirk seems like he'd be completely relaxed about the idea - but we never see him flirt with any guys, so maybe he's not been with one either? Maybe it's something they discover together. Or maybe one (or both) of them does have some experience with men after all. I think they'd end up having a great time either way.

Visual Prompts

• Kirk firing a phaser as he protects Simon in battle. Or maybe Simon trying to box, or even wrestle, with some weird alien to protect Kirk.
  
• Grinning as they lean close to flirt.
  
• Dancing together, dressed in fine Regency clothes.
  
• One of them comforting the other after a nightmare.
  
• Watching a beautiful alien sunset together.
  
• A passionate kiss.
  
• Undressing each other.
  
• One of them riding the other's cock.
  
• One of them carefully penetrating the other.

Diana Prince/Xenk Yendar
DC Extended Universe/Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

These two are both so intensely good, such badasses on the battlefield - and carrying such trauma. I really think they'd value each other, with respect turning to attraction. And maybe they'd feel safe enough to be a little vulnerable, to open up about their hurts and help each other deal with that angst.

Narrative Prompts

• Diana finds a strange artifact, and when she touches it she gets sent to Faerun. Maybe she stumbles on Xenk as he's helping someone. Or maybe she gets dropped into the middle of a battle, and immediately joins in to assist Xenk? And then he insists on helping her get home - though maybe she wants to help him finish his quest to save someone first?
  
• Or maybe Xenk's the one who gets sent across worlds, and he arrives in one of Diana's battles? Or he gets dropped in the museum where Diana works, and is fascinated by all these interesting objects.
  
• They both have a supernatural grace in battle - so I'd love some battle couple moments where they're incredibly synchronised, pulling off almost impossible things as they protect each other.
  
• If Xenk's an Oath of Devotion paladin, then he has a vow of honesty. Maybe he'd be fascinated by the lasso of truth - or overwhelmed by its effects. Maybe he and Diana could chat about the merits of honesty.

Visual Prompts

• Standing back to back, ready to fight.
  
• Holding hands.
  
• Diana wrapping the lasso of truth around Xenk's wrist.
  
• Cuddling in bed, after Xenk has a nightmare.
  
• Diana carrying an injured Xenk.
  
• A gentle kiss.
  
• Diana riding Xenk's cock.
  
• Xenk gently penetrating Diana.

Edgin Darvis/Steve Trevor
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)/DC Extended Universe

Edgin is a good man trying to pretend that he isn't; Steve is weary of doing good but knows he has to try. They're both calm in a crisis, but lead in such different ways. And they're both charming too - one a spy, one a criminal. Would Steve see right through it when Edgin smiles to hide his angst? Maybe sharing a face means they'd know exactly when the other is lying - or maybe Steve would assume everything Edgin does is a trick? Maybe they'd find some understanding, be able to help each other with their scars - or at least unwind together.

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe Steve gets knocked out by an explosion and wakes up in a strange and fantastical world. Surely it must be a dream, especially as there's a guy who looks exactly like him, but it feels so very real...
  
• Due to some magical weirdness, Edgin gets plonked in World War I, and ends up helping Steve with a mission before he finds a way home. Action, danger, protecting each other, and attraction developing.
  
• Or Edgin ends up in World War I - and Steve thinks their similarity is some kind of trick, and assumes Edgin is there to steal his intel, confuse his contacts, or even replace him entirely. Edgin has to convince him otherwise.
  
• Edgin ends up falling asleep in Steve's presence, and has a nightmare about Zia/Revel's End/something he saw as a Harper. And despite them hardly knowing each other, Steve can't just ignore how shaken Edgin is, and is carefully gentle with him.
  
• Maybe due to the time he lives in, Steve's never really considered the possibility of attraction to another man. Or maybe he's experienced it, but didn't recognise it - or didn't view it as something that could ever be acted upon. But now Edgin is flirting with him, and he doesn't have a good argument for holding back...

Visual Prompts

• Edgin playing his lute for Steve.
  
• Steve trying to pretend he's not interested as a grinning Edgin leans in close to flirt with him.
  
• An AU where pilot Steve has wings; Edgin helps him groom them.
  
• A hesitant but passionate kiss.
  
• Edgin riding Steve's cock.
  
• Edgin gently penetrating Steve.

Holga Kilgore/Diana Prince
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)/DC Extended Universe

Two badass warrior ladies, both exiled from their homes. Maybe they'd bond over that angst. Or maybe they'd openly appreciate each other after fighting side by side. I'd love to see them both let down their guard a little, open up, be a bit vulnerable - and find something positive with each other.

Narrative Prompts

• Diana finds a strange artifact, and when she touches it she gets sent to Faerun. Maybe she bumps into Holga while wandering around town. Or maybe she gets dropped into the middle of a battle, and immediately joins in to help the party?
  
• Or maybe Holga's the one who gets sent across worlds, and she arrives in one of Diana's battles? Or maybe she lands on Themyscira?
  
• Sparring together! They have very different fighting styles, but they both have a level of raw strength that's rarely matched. After all her training with the Amazons, maybe Diana's used to meeting such a strong woman - but has been missing it, after leaving Themyscira. But how often does Holga get to spar with a fellow woman who can throw her across the room?
  
• Holga takes Diana to a tavern. Is it a fun, relaxed night? Does a bar fight erupt? (Is it not even their fault?) Or do they end up having an emotional conversation about having to leave everything behind?
  
• What does Holga think of the lasso of truth? What would happen if Diana used it on her? (For honesty purposes, for a demonstration, or for kinky reasons.)

Visual Prompts

• Protecting each other in battle.
  
• Diana carrying an injured Holga.
  
• Passionate kissing.
  
• One of them going down on the other.
  
• One of them wearing a strap-on.

James T. Kirk/Diana Prince
Star Trek: Alternate Original Series/DC Extended Universe

Kirk might flirt obnoxiously, but I think he'd really respect Diana - she's tough, she's clever, she's caring. Diana would probably appreciate how much he's willing to risk to protect his crew. And they're both carrying a lot of angst, so maybe they could help each other. How does Diana deal with the weirdness of Kirk sharing Steve's face but being his own person? Would there always be a sad undercurrent, or could they find happiness together?

Narrative Prompts

• Diana's basically immortal. Does she end up joining Starfleet? There's a whole universe of people to help, after all. Maybe she gets assigned to Kirk's crew - or maybe she outranks him, and she's an important Admiral who gets sent on a mission with him.
  
• Or maybe she's trying not to draw attention to herself, so she doesn't join Starfleet. But she hears there's trouble on Another Planet, and sneaks aboard the next ship travelling that way - which happens to be the Enterprise?
  
• Or she finds her own way there, and when Kirk is in trouble, it's Diana who unexpectedly comes to his rescue. Or maybe the threat is happening on Earth, and that's where she saves him?
  
• Maybe Kirk gets flung back in time instead, to some point post-1918. He meets Diana, who insists on helping him get home - as he insists on helping with whatever danger is currently brewing in that time period.
  
• Maybe Diana gets tired of Kirk's flirting, not believing it's genuine, and so uses the lasso of truth on him. (And maybe that just makes his flirting worse?)

Visual Prompts

• Diana and Kirk both in Starfleet uniform.
  
• Fighting back to back, Kirk with his phaser and Diana with her lasso.
  
• Diana protecting Kirk with her shield.
  
• Kissing on a beautiful alien planet.
  
• Diana wrapping Kirk up in the lasso of truth.
  
• Diana riding Kirk's cock.

James T. Kirk/Steve Trevor
Star Trek: Alternate Original Series/DC Extended Universe

Traumatised, weary Steve trying to do his best for the world and charming, brilliant, almost reckless Kirk, who has his own share of trauma. Would love to see them team up, and for something to develop between them. Could be young and rebellious Kirk, with Steve trying to guide him, or the older, wiser, more weary Kirk of the third film, who Steve might have more in common with. Either way, I think they'd both recognise that they're trying to protect people and do good in the world, and that could bring them together. (On Steve's side, please set it before he meets Diana!)

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe Steve gets knocked out by an explosion and wakes up in the far future and/or on an alien planet. Surely it must be a dream, especially as there's a guy who looks exactly like him, but it feels so very real...
  
• Kirk somehow travels back to World War I, and ends up helping Steve with a mission before he finds a way home. Action, danger, protecting each other, and attraction developing.
  
• Or Kirk ends up in World War I - and Steve thinks their similarity is some kind of trick, and assumes Kirk is there to steal his intel, confuse his contacts, or even replace him entirely. Kirk has to convince him otherwise.
  
• Maybe due to the time he lives in, Steve's never really considered the possibility of attraction to another man. Or maybe he's experienced it, but didn't recognise it - or didn't view it as something that could ever be acted upon. But now Kirk is flirting with him, and he doesn't have a good argument for holding back...

Visual Prompts

• Kirk giving Steve a hands-on lesson in how to shoot a phaser.
  
• Steve showing Kirk his watch.
  
• Dancing together, maybe with a gramophone playing.
  
• Kirk laughing as Steve gets excited about flying a shuttle.
  
• A cosy breakfast scene.
  
• Kissing on a beautiful alien planet.
  
• Undressing each other.
  
• One of them riding the other's cock.
  
• One of them carefully penetrating the other.

Simon Aumar/Tim Goodman
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)/Detective Pikachu (2019)

Two awkward, adorable, loserish guys who secretly aren't so loserish. Simon is nervous, sarcastic, and sometimes sulky, yearning for more but pessimistic about getting it. Tim is calmer, more resigned, no longer chasing his dream and telling himself he's fine with where he is. Both of them have angst about their families - Simon about the Aumar legacy, and how he doesn't measure up; Tim about his father, and all the interests he's squashed down because of that distance. I'd love to see some tenderness between them as they form a bond.

You could set this before their movies, with them still lacking confidence, or after, once they're more secure in themselves and their abilities. (But if you do set it post-movie, please don't mention a relationship with their canon love interests. I'd prefer an AU where they were never into each other - or you can just ignore those ships altogether.)

Narrative Prompts

• A mysterious artifact or wild magic accident sends Simon to the Pokemon world. Considering their resemblance, Tim can't help but get involved with sending Simon home, even if he doesn't know what to do. But maybe first he gets to introduce Simon to the wonders (and dangers) of pokemon.
  
• Some strange tech sends Tim to Faerun, where he stumbles into Simon. Maybe Tim lands in a tavern, and they have a flirty moment. Maybe Tim arrives out in the wilds, and Simon has to rescue him. Maybe Tim appears in the middle of a battle, and Simon (and the party) have to protect him, before trying to send him home.
  
• Tim is used to pokemon having amazing abilities, but not people. Is he awed by Simon's magic - even when it goes wrong?
  
• Neither of them has much self-esteem. Maybe seeing their doppelganger is the first time they each go "wow, I'm actually hot" - or maybe the obvious hotness means they can only focus on their slight differences, unable to really believe in the resemblance.
  
• Both of them are pretty awkward at flirting. Maybe they'd bumble around each other until blurting out their feelings. Maybe they'd quickly connect, and find each other easier to open up to than other people. Maybe they'd even decide to practice flirting (or kissing) together - and then find it unexpectedly intense and arousing.
  
• Maybe they decide to lose their virginities together - after all, who's going to be more understanding of their flaws than their own double? Or maybe they each have a little experience, and decide to have fun together - or a tender night between the sheets.

Visual Prompts

• Simon dazzling Tim with some magic.
  
• Tim showing Simon a pokeball as they snuggle in close.
  
• Sheepish smiles as they flirt, huddle for warmth, or hold hands.
  
• A gentle kiss.
  
• Making out or frotting in bed.
  
• One of them riding the other's cock.
  
• Spooning sex, wrapped in close.

Duncan Idaho/Xenk Yendar
Dune (Movies - Villeneuve)/Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

I love these two and I think their tropes would blend in really fun ways. They're both highly skilled warriors, and very honourable - Xenk as a paladin, and Duncan as a devoted servant of House Atreides - so I think they'd respect and understand each other right away. But they both have their own angst too: Duncan's been given a prophecy that he'll soon die in battle, and then sees his beloved House destroyed; Xenk has been touched by a necromantic curse, and is living as a despised exile after seeing his home and family destroyed. Maybe they could offer each other some comfort and support? They're both kind and caring, but express that in very different ways. And there'd be an interesting contrast between Xenk's very literal mind and Duncan's fond teasing.

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe a strange artifact or malfunctioning spell sends Xenk to Caladan. Is protective Duncan initially wary of him, and determined to figure Xenk out? Or maybe they hit it off immediately? As Xenk just absolutely exudes goodness and honesty... or maybe he wins Duncan's trust by protecting Paul from a threat. Does Duncan then take Xenk under his wing, trying to help him get home - and showing him the local sights (and foods, and alcoholic drinks) in the meantime?
  
• Or maybe Xenk arrives on Arrakis, either before the Harkonnens attack, while the tension is ramping up - or maybe after. What if Xenk somehow arrived just in time to save Duncan from the Sardaukar? Or at least in time to heal him - with a touch of magic pressed right to Duncan's wound. What would happen next?
  
• Or maybe somehow it's Duncan's death at the hands of the Sardaukar which sends him, alive and healthy and pretty confused, to Faerun. Maybe he understands there's no way home - or maybe he still has some hope. I think Xenk would be gentle with him either way. And I can see Duncan being pulled into Xenk's paladin business, maybe joining whatever quest he's currently undertaking to help people.
  
• Wherever they are, however they meet, I can definitely imagine these two sparring. We were robbed of a Duncan sparring scene in the films - but nobody maintains that kind of skill without practice. I'm sure these two train every day. And who better to train with than a fellow skilled warrior? Maybe they'd even use the interaction to evaluate each other as people - and be glad to see how honourably the other one fights. But does Duncan need to adjust to fighting without a shield - or Xenk need to adjust to fighting with one?
  
• Duncan's childhood isn't mentioned in the films, so I assumed he came from Caladan - but apparently in the books he was born on Giedi Prime, and rescued from the Harkonnens by the Atreides. Maybe that traumatic childhood is something he could bond with Xenk over - and maybe, as a man who's found happiness and purpose in his new home and new life, Duncan could give Xenk a little bit of hope too?
  
• Maybe while sleeping by the same campfire, or sharing a bed, or locked in a dungeon together, one of them has a nightmare - and the other one comforts him.
  
• Between his paladin vows and the way people treat Thayans, I tend to assume Xenk is a virgin. But maybe he'd feel safe exploring that with charming, caring, honourable Duncan - especially if they'd had time to bond.

Visual Prompts

• Duncan grinning at Xenk as he leans in close. Or maybe he's teasing Xenk - and Xenk is smiling in response.
  
• Sparring together, or protecting each other in battle.
  
• Xenk cradling an injured Duncan close, healing him with a glowing touch of magic.
  
• A tender kiss.
  
• Duncan helping Xenk take off his armour.
  
• One of them riding the other's cock.
  
• One of them carefully penetrating the other.

Paul Atreides/Xenk Yendar
Dune (Movies - Villeneuve)/Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

I feel like these two are both pretty tragic figures. Xenk has sworn a holy vow, but he's under the effects of a necromantic curse - and has lost his family and his home. Paul loses his home and half his family too, and he's being pulled in every direction by the winds of fate. The Harkonnens, the Bene Gesserit, the Emperor, the Fremen... Every attempt to escape the dark designs of one faction is hampered by the plots of another. Even his visions of the future don't help him avoid his terrible role. Paul carries the power of the Voice too - do people fear that the way they fear Thayans? Maybe being a man with Bene Gesserit powers makes Paul feel like he's subtly wrong, as I can imagine Xenk might feel subtly wrong due to the Beckoning Death. But Xenk has chosen the path of compassion, and (despite his teenage moodiness) Paul is very sweet with those closest to him. Maybe they could bond, show each other a little tenderness, and help support each other?

The movies leave Paul's age ambiguous, but as long as he's (implied to be) eighteen, there's a range of times you could set this - from Paul still on Caladan, fearing the future; to arriving on Arrakis, with its growing sense of danger; to after the Harkonnen attack, with a traumatised Paul fighting for safety. Xenk is about 140 in the main timeline of his film, and I'm fine with that time period, but if you wanted to dive way back and show me a Xenk closer to Paul's age that's totally okay too.

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe some weird Bene Gesserit stuff, a strange reaction to spice, an unexplained artifact like the painbox, or some dream oddness somehow sends Paul to Faerun. Does paladin Xenk find this lost young man and promise to send him home? Maybe Paul drops right into the middle of a fight as Xenk is protecting someone else - and quickly joins in to help. But Paul is used to fighting with a shield that protects against projectiles and fast attacks - maybe he gets injured, and Xenk has to heal him. And that healing involves getting in close and touching Paul's wound, leading to a frisson, which leads to more...
  
• Maybe Xenk is on a quest that he can't abandon, such as taking down an evil cult about to perform a dangerous ritual, and so Paul earnestly joins him on that. Maybe they do a little bit of sparring practice on the way. Maybe the two of them even get captured and thrown into a dungeon cell together, leading to an honest discussion about their various traumas and fears.
  
• Or maybe a weird artifact or a malfunctioning spell sends Xenk to Paul, on Caladan or on Arrakis. Does Xenk sense the danger Paul's in, and try to protect him even as he's trying to find a way home? Maybe Paul wants to live up to his duties as ducal heir, and makes it his mission to send Xenk home, leading to them growing closer. Maybe Paul even had a vision of Xenk before he arrived - is he the only one who trusts him, with Thufir or Duncan or Gurney suspicious that Xenk could be a spy? But even if he's not good at words, Xenk is an honourable paladin - he'd surely find some way to prove his sincere motives.
  
• Or you could do something softer and fluffier, with Paul and Xenk relaxing in a tavern, eating together by a campfire, or Paul showing Xenk around Castle Caladan...
  
• Both of them seem like they're ripe for nightmares - Xenk with his traumatic past, Paul with his prophetic dreams. Maybe they're locked in a dungeon, or there was only one bed, and that's why they're there to witness it. But I'd love to see one of them being soft and reassuring with the other.
  
• Paul's a young man, probably still in the grip of hormones, and Xenk is a ridiculously attractive man. Does Paul proposition him? Maybe Paul has some experience, and it's a confident attempt - or maybe Paul's lived a pretty isolated life, surrounded by dutiful servants who wouldn't touch him, and he's still a virgin? And he thinks Xenk is someone he can trust to be gentle with him. But Xenk himself might've lived an isolated life too, as a man both cursed and bound by duty, so maybe he's a virgin? Maybe Paul's seduction only results in a kiss - or maybe they do go to bed together. But maybe it takes a buildup of mutual pining and/or the adrenaline of a near-death experience to get them there?

Visual Prompts

• Protecting each other in battle.
  
• Xenk cradling an injured Paul close, healing him with a glowing touch of magic.
  
• Eating together by a campfire.
  
• Xenk brushing Paul's messy curls back into order for him.
  
• One of them comforting the other in bed, after a nightmare.
  
• A tender kiss.
  
• Paul gasping as he rides Xenk's cock.
  
• One of them carefully penetrating the other.

Doric/Nancy Drew
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)/Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase (2019)

Doric is blunt, practical, powered by a righteous need for justice, and spiky when it comes to humans. Nancy is curious, brave bordering on reckless, charming in a slightly awkward teen way, but younger and more vulnerable than she likes to admit. In this version, Nancy only lost her mother recently, and that's still an angst close to the surface - but Doric was abandoned by her family years ago, and is used to being an outsider. I'd love to see them form a bond, with earnest Nancy getting spiky Doric to open up - or Doric choosing to care about vulnerable Nancy.

Please age Nancy up to 18 for this, unless this is a pre-canon Doric who's a teenager roughly the same age. But I DNW sex under 18. (And if Doric comes from the post-movie part of her timeline, please don't mention her and Simon 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.)

Narrative Prompts

• A strange artifact sends Doric to River Heights. Maybe she gets pulled into the mystery Nancy is investigating (even if all they find is one clue) - or maybe Doric, and how to send her home, becomes the mystery for Nancy.
  
• Or Nancy finds a strange object, or a door that leads to somewhere else, and stumbles into Doric. Maybe Nancy arrives in a tavern, or the wood elf town, and they get to relax together. Maybe Nancy lands somewhere mysterious, and starts investigating - only for Doric (and the party) to be studying the same crime/cult/etc. Maybe Nancy is dropped into the middle of combat, and Doric has to protect her - or Nancy does something innovative and helpful.
  
• Nancy teaches Doric how to skateboard. Does having a tail make it easier for Doric to balance? Maybe she's a natural.
  
• When Nancy discovers Doric can turn into animals, she insists on seeing all her forms - and maybe on petting some of the softer, cuter ones.
  
• Is it strange for Doric to see a human version of herself? Did she ever wish she was human, and resent how easily Nancy fits into her community? Or is she unsettled by human Nancy, on guard for all the human traits she hates?
  
• While adventuring or investigating, Nancy gets mildly injured, and Doric has to make a healing salve with some herbs. Or Doric is injured, and Nancy comforts her.
  
• Curious Nancy is intrigued by Doric's horns - and finds out they're an erogenous zone. Or that Doric's pointed ear tips wiggle when she's aroused. Or maybe Nancy just wants to explore every part of Doric's body, seeing where they're different and where they're the same. And Doric's not opposed to a bit of casual sex.
  
• Or maybe one of them gets hit by sex pollen, and the other one valiantly offers their help.

Visual Prompts

• Doric applies some herbs to a graze on Nancy's arm.
  
• Sneaking around a spooky house together, holding hands.
  
• Doric in cat form, curled up on Nancy's lap.
  
• An excited Nancy riding Doric's owlbear form.
  
• Doric wrapping her tail around Nancy's arm.
  
• Nancy stroking Doric's horns.
  
• An eager kiss.
  
• Exploring each other's bodies in bed.

Phoenix Buchanan/Forge Fitzwilliam
Paddington (Movies)/Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

The villainous actor with many flamboyant disguises and the conman with no morals but a whole load of charm! I'd love to see these two being fabulous baddies together and absolutely having the time of their lives... or maybe slowly annoying each other until the sexual tension explodes. Not a detailed idea, but I'm very into it!

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe Forge finally manages to escape Revel's End by crossing dimensions to Earth... and appears in prison with Phoenix. Whoops.
  
• Or maybe an AU where Phoenix has always lived in Faerun. (Talking bears would fit right in!) Maybe Forge sees Phoenix perform, or they meet in a tavern, and the two of them quickly bond - or Forge targets Phoenix for a con, but the guy turns out to be trickier than he expected, and then attraction gets involved...
  
• They decide to run some kind of con or scheme together. Maybe their styles and skills blend effortlessly, and the whole thing goes perfectly. (And then they celebrate with a kiss. Or more.) Or maybe they keep pulling in different directions, bickering, and thwarting each other - until their annoyance results in one of them kissing the other. Or maybe Paddington, or Edgin's crew, or Xenk, are the ones to stop them.
  
• Or some isekai-type scenario, where one of them gets booted into the other's body for Reasons, and now they're fighting for control of it, rabbiting away to each other in their mind... and maybe sharing some very real-feeling dreams where they can see each other - and touch each other.
  
• What are two charming, handsome, egotistical men going to do when they meet someone who looks exactly like them? Jump into bed, of course. It's their ultimate fantasy. But that doesn't mean they won't bicker, or get competitive!

Visual Prompts

• A wry Phoenix grabs a sheepish Forge's hand, stopping him mid-pickpocket.
  
• Playing strip poker together.
  
• Invading each other's personal space as they argue, cheeks flushed.
  
• Cuddling in a prison cell, Phoenix in his pink prison outfit, Forge in his Revel's End rags.
  
• A passionate kiss.
  
• One of them riding the other's cock.

Edgin Darvis/Nicholas Devereaux
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)/Princess Diaries (Movies)

What would happen when charming, secretly angsty leader Edgin meets flirty, secretly kind, would-be king Nicholas, and they discover they share a face? Are they initially weirded out by it, or fascinated by each other? Considering Edgin's encouraging, protective ways, I can see him deciding to look after Nicholas - and maybe getting more emotionally involved than he intended. Edgin carries a lot of trauma and guilt, whereas Nicholas less so - despite seemingly being an orphan - but maybe they'd bond over their angst, and over wondering what kind of men they really are - or want to be.

(Please set this before Nicholas gets together with Mia!)

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe Edgin heists a magical artifact, and when he picks it up it transports him to Genovia. Maybe he arrives at the palace while Nicholas is staying there, and Nicholas feels the urge to help him get home. Or maybe it's before the movie, and Edgin arrives at the manor where Mabrey (and seemingly Nicholas) lives. And Nicholas helps him - even as Edgin tries to warn an oblivious Nicholas about his uncle, without scaring the young man away.
  
• Or maybe Nicholas discovers some strange object while exploring the palace, and when he touches it he finds himself in a dangerous magical world - but fortunately he runs into Edgin (and the party?) who takes him under his wing and helps him get home.
  
• Maybe Edgin and the gang are partway through some heist or adventure, and Nicholas gets pulled into that too - and is possibly slightly alarmed by their morals. (Or maybe not, considering Mabrey.) Maybe Nicholas looking so similar to Edgin is really useful to their plan?
  
• What about an AU where Genovia is part of Faerun? Maybe at the same time Nicholas is trying to take the crown, Edgin and the gang are literally trying to steal the crown jewels! Perhaps Edgin goes undercover, and develops a soft spot for Nicholas - or the plan goes totally off the rails, and Edgin somehow ends up kidnapping Nicholas? (Who is maybe not all that upset about being separated from his manipulative uncle...)
  
• I'd love it if Nicholas got to see Edgin perform, whether on stage at a tavern, or just by the campfire. Maybe he'd be swept away by the emotions of Edgin's performance? (Maybe Nicholas himself can sing?)
  
• Or Nicholas cooking for Edgin (and the party)! Joe calls him a "gourmet cook" so it'd no doubt be great - unless he encounters some very weird fantastical ingredients, and boggles over them.
  
• Does Edgin have opinions on Nicholas being a lord, and technically royal? What does he think of the plan to make Nicholas king? Is Nicholas's status useful to them somehow - maybe in a magical way?
  
• They have to share a bed for Reasons, and Edgin has a nightmare. Nicholas has to dig into his hidden kindness to comfort him, maybe even as he's unsettled by the role reversal of looking after a man who looks like an older version of him.
  
• Both of them are charming, and Nicholas clearly sleeps around. Maybe Edgin would hesitate due to the age gap, but Nicholas reassures him it'd be no-strings fun. Or maybe they're both just curious about fucking someone who's practically their double - and finding out whether everything is the same, including their responses.
  
• Maybe Nicholas gets hit by sex pollen, and Edgin helps him through it. Maybe it's some frantic, unexpected fun - or maybe Edgin has to be kind and gentle, looking after a Nicholas who's had a lot of sex but is overwhelmed by the strange sensation of the sex pollen rampaging through him.

Visual Prompts

• Edgin playing his lute for Nicholas.
  
• Nicholas cooking for Edgin, dressed in his blue striped apron.
  
• Grinning as they charm and flirt with each other.
  
• One of them comforting the other, due to a vulnerable moment or an injury.
  
• A passionate kiss.
  
• One of them riding the other's cock.

Kira Darvis & Nicholas Devereaux
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)/Princess Diaries (Movies)

The "raised by uncles who turned out to be evil" club. Maybe Kira would be drawn to Nicholas because he shares her father's face - but then realise he's a different man. I can imagine these two having a conversation and making an emotional connection in a quiet moment. They don't have exactly the same angst, but I feel like they'd understand and relate to each other in a way they might find difficult with people from their own canons. Kira acts older than her years, but she's still a hurting teenage girl. Nicholas is closer to being her peer, but very definitely an adult and would probably be protective of her. I'd love to see them being kind to each other - and maybe getting to have fun too.

Narrative Prompts

• Nicholas finds a door in the palace or his uncle's house that leads to Faerun. Maybe it leads to a tavern where he encounters the party, who are fascinated by him, and ends up talking with Kira.
  
• Or maybe the door takes him to Neverwinter Castle, where he bumps into a young girl who's missing a father that looks just like him.
  
• Or maybe it drops him into a dangerous situation, and he's not sure how to escape - until the disembodied voice of an invisible girl leads him to safety. Maybe he travels with the party for a while, as they try to figure out how to send him home, and he bonds with Kira?
  
• Or maybe Kira falls through a portal and Nicholas finds her wandering the palace grounds. She's startled by how much he resembles her father and asks him to help her get home. He's not sure what to do, but he can't refuse.

Visual Prompts

• Kira showing her pendant to Nicholas.
  
• Nicholas cooking for Kira.
  
• Smiling and chatting.
  
• A gentle hug.
  
• Nicholas laying a comforting hand on Kira's shoulder.
  
• An angsty discussion.

Nicholas Devereaux/Xenk Yendar
Princess Diaries (Movies)/Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

I'd love to see what happens when these two meet. Xenk is so kind, but also stoic and takes everything literally. Nicholas is flirty and charming, but actually a little lost, and would maybe appreciate some guidance. He can also give the impression he doesn't care, but he softens easily. Maybe it'd take some urging from Nicholas to get Xenk to open up, or maybe it'd happen naturally if they spent a while together. But with Xenk's traumatic past and Nicholas's family angst, I can see something sweet developing that helps lift both of them up.

(Please set this before Nicholas gets together with Mia!)

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe Xenk uncovers a magical artifact, and when he picks it up it transports him to Genovia. Maybe he arrives at the palace while Nicholas is staying there, or maybe it's before the movie, and he arrives at the manor where Mabrey (and seemingly Nicholas) lives. But Nicholas feels the urge to help this strange, lost man... even if Mabrey tries to use him for his own purposes.
  
• Or maybe Nicholas discovers some strange object while exploring the palace, and when he touches it he finds himself in a dangerous magical world - but fortunately he meets this noble paladin... As soon as Xenk realised Nicholas was in trouble, he'd obviously insist on helping him get home. But maybe that's not easy - or maybe Nicholas gets dropped into the middle of a battle, or while Xenk's in the middle of a fraught quest, and he decides that sticking with Xenk is his best hope - and maybe he secretly feels the urge to assist Xenk?
  
• They have to share a bed for Reasons, and Xenk has a nightmare about the Beckoning Death. Nicholas has to dig into his hidden kindness to comfort Xenk.
  
• Does Nicholas talk to Xenk about his uncle's plan to make him king? Does Xenk get him to consider what kind of man he'd need to be to run a country well? Is he the first person who actually asks Nicholas if that's even what he wants? Maybe it's Xenk's calm and logical assessment of Mabrey that gets Nicholas to consider if the man who raised him isn't actually a good person, or good to him.
  
• Nicholas gets hit by sex pollen, and Xenk insists on saving him. Maybe Xenk is a virgin, and Nicholas tries to refuse, but Xenk assures him he's fine with doing it. Or maybe Xenk is experienced, and he looks after a Nicholas who's had a lot of sex but is overwhelmed by the strange sensation of the sex pollen rampaging through him.

Visual Prompts

• Nicholas giving Xenk a tour of the palace.
  
• Xenk healing an injured Nicholas.
  
• Nicholas cooking for Xenk.
  
• A gentle kiss.
  
• Nicholas riding Xenk's cock.
  
• Nicholas gently penetrating Xenk.

Edgin Darvis/James T. Kirk
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)/Star Trek: Alternate Original Series

Charming, flirty leaders with traumatic pasts! I like to think they'd immediately develop a rapport, but it might take them a while to open up to each other. Edgin is older but not wiser, and prone to taking risks that don't pay off - whereas Kirk seems reckless but his gambles always come through. Kirk tends to hide how clever he is, and Edgin's trying to ignore everything he learned as a Harper. Would they see themselves in each other - and not just because they share a face? Maybe they'd quickly flirt their way into bed, or maybe they'd bond over their angst and the difficulty of protecting people.

Narrative Prompts

• Some spell goes wrong, or Edgin touches the wrong magical artifact, and he finds himself on the USS Enterprise - whose captain looks suspiciously like him. Maybe Kirk (or Spock, or Bones) is worried that Edgin's been created by hostile aliens and he has to win them over before they'll help to send him home. Or maybe his appearance is conveniently timed for dealing with some hostile aliens, when they mistake Edgin for Kirk - or he deliberately tricks them, maybe at Kirk's suggestion.
  
• Maybe the Enterprise discovers the planet Toril, and beams down to investigate incognito - and then, as usual, something goes wrong. Maybe Kirk gets into trouble, and Edgin is the one who saves him? Or Kirk stumbles on Edgin in a sticky situation, and helps him out of it? Maybe a transporter malfunction sends Kirk to Faerun without his crew, and Edgin has to help figure out how to send him home?
  
• Or maybe nothing goes wrong, and they meet in a tavern and hit it off? Maybe they share a few drinks - or maybe Kirk gets to watch Edgin performing?
  
• Maybe they're sharing a bed for Reasons, and Edgin has a nightmare about Zia - and Kirk comforts him and calms him down. Maybe Kirk opens up about how he was born too, and all the survivor's guilt inherent in that.
  
• They're both handsome charmers, and Kirk in particular is a flirt. How long would it take them to fall into bed together? Not long, I'm guessing.

Visual Prompts

• Leaning in close to flirt with each other.
  
• Edgin playing his lute for Kirk.
  
• Kirk teasing Edgin as he tries to teach him to play chess.
  
• Drinking together in a tavern.
  
• Kirk tugging on Edgin's shirt, or vice versa.
  
• Sitting in a prison cell together - or trying to strategise their way out of it.
  
• A passionate kiss.
  
• Cuddling in bed, after one of them has a nightmare.
  
• Undressing each other.
  
• One of them riding the other's cock.
  
• One of them penetrating the other.

James T. Kirk/Xenk Yendar
Star Trek: Alternate Original Series/Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

I'd love to see these two together. Charming, flirty, almost reckless leader Kirk and kind, stoic, literal-minded Xenk. Is Xenk equally as convinced of Kirk's brilliance and goodness as he is of Edgin's? And is Kirk more receptive to it? I can see Kirk being the one to get a repressed Xenk to believe he's allowed to have feelings. They both lost family members in traumatic ways as children, so maybe they would bond over that.

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe the Enterprise discovers the planet Toril, and beams down to investigate incognito - and then, as usual, something goes wrong. Maybe Kirk gets into trouble, and Xenk is the one who saves him? Or Kirk stumbles on Xenk in a sticky situation, and helps him out of it?
  
• Or maybe nothing goes wrong, and they meet in a tavern and start a conversation?
  
• Maybe the magical artifact Xenk's trying to protect from the Red Wizards unexpectedly teleports him to the Enterprise. Maybe he and Kirk bond while they're trying to figure out how to send him home.
  
• Or maybe Xenk arrives in the middle of a crisis, and of course, he's a paladin - he's immediately going to jump in to help. Would a grateful Kirk be awed by Xenk's prowess? Maybe, if the situation isn't resolved immediately, Kirk asks Xenk to join his plan - and Xenk naturally agrees, giving them a chance to grow closer.
  
• Maybe they have to share a bed for Reasons, and one of them ends up having a nightmare - and the other one gently comforts them.
  
• Or maybe one of them is injured, and the other one has to look after them. Maybe Xenk can heal Kirk, and Kirk is amazed by that - or maybe Xenk's run out of magic, or been cuffed, and he holds Kirk close until he can heal him. Or Kirk is the one holding injured Xenk until his magic comes back.
  
• I tend to imagine Xenk as a repressed virgin, so maybe they wouldn't fall into bed together even if they confess feelings to each other. But maybe something like sex pollen would force a nervous Xenk to rely on Kirk, who'd kindly guide him through it, reassuring him and trying to make it a positive experience.

Visual Prompts

• Kirk leaning in to flirt with Xenk.
  
• Protecting each other in battle.
  
• Xenk healing an injured Kirk.
  
• Kirk gently kissing Xenk.
  
• Cuddling in bed, after one of them has a nightmare.
  
• Undressing each other.
  
• Kirk riding Xenk's cock.

Phoebe Thunderman & Xenk Yendar
The Thundermans (TV)/Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

I think these two could have an interesting mentorship dynamic. They're both so innately good and maybe they could team up to save the world - or have a chat during a quieter moment. Phoebe is a natural hero, but she still struggles with teenage worries - maybe with the wisdom of his long life, Xenk could gently offer some support? Xenk is intensely moral, but he's also touched by undeath - could innocent Phoebe help him see that the curse doesn't make him a monster? She's never heard of Thay before so him being a Thayan wouldn't matter to her. And there's an interesting contrast, with Phoebe being from a big happy family, while Xenk has lost his. I think they'd really understand each other, even if they don't share their exact struggles, and could help uplift each other.

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe a strange artifact or some malfunctioning magic sends Xenk to Hiddenville, and he ends up helping Phoebe take down a supervillain. (Maybe one that's kidnapped the other Thundermans, so Xenk is her only support?) Or maybe her problem is a smaller, mundane teenage one - but sincere Xenk still takes it seriously, and helps her through it.
  
• Or maybe Phoebe's up to some superhero shenanigans - and she accidentally drags Xenk to Hiddenville. Now she's trying to hide an entire adult paladin in full shiny armour from her family, and get him home before they figure out what she did. But maybe Xenk would advise her to just be honest and accept her parents' help?
  
• Or maybe Phoebe's superhero powers - or one of Max's gadgets - send her to Faerun. Does Xenk stumble on this lost teenage girl and promise to get her home? Maybe Phoebe drops into the middle of a combat scene, and joins in to help Xenk - and then gets sucked into his quest, because she can't resist being a dogooder.
  
• Maybe their time together is mostly soft, fluffy and fun, with Phoebe sharing a meal with Xenk in a tavern or by a campfire - or him tagging along as she does teenage stuff, like going to a dance or a science fair, or her trying increasingly ridiculous ways to hide him inside the Thunderman house.
  
• Maybe it's more dramatic, with threat from evil cultists or a supervillain, and Xenk gets to coach and protect Phoebe as they save the day - but maybe she has a little to teach him too. Or maybe, while nobody in her world knows what a Thayan is, something about Xenk's curse pings other people (or their scanners/gadgets) as supervillainous - and it's up to Phoebe to defend Xenk, and prove he's as good as he plainly is?
  
• Or maybe, in amongst all that or just generally, they get to have a serious talk in a quieter moment. Is Phoebe worried about Max's supervillain ways - and can Xenk reassure her that her brother has a good heart really? Does seeing Phoebe's happy family bring up Xenk's own trauma, putting him in a melancholy mood, and leaving teenage Phoebe to be soft with this adult man? Maybe she discovers he has nightmares, and sits with him as he recovers from one.

Visual Prompts

• Standing in a battle stance, or protecting each other in actual battle - Xenk in his armour, Phoebe in her blue Thunderman spandex.
  
• Phoebe showing Xenk how to eat a burger or a pizza. Or them eating a Thayan stew together by a campfire.
  
• Xenk intently listening to Phoebe as she explains her problems to him.
  
• One of them gently resting a hand on the other's shoulder.
  
• Phoebe using her telekinesis to save Xenk after an enemy knocks him off a cliff. Or Xenk grabbing Phoebe's hand to pull her up after she falls.

Kira Darvis & Willy Wonka
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)/Wonka (2023)

Look, Wonka has form for befriending isolated girls under the care of evil guardians, and Kira definitely deserves some magical chocolate adventures. I'd love to see what happens when his bombastic optimism meets her earnest yearning. His own feelings about his mother might give him some understanding of Kira's family struggles - and an extra urge to help solve them. But maybe he's a little lonely after returning Noodle to her mother, and is excited for a new friend? Or maybe they meet at a time when they're both feeling positive, and just get to have some giggly shenanigans together? Feel free to create something fluffy and silly, maybe involving chocolate or a song or actual magic, or something involving some angst or hurt/comfort. I just think their tropes and plotlines could blend in fun, interesting ways.

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe some new combination of ingredients accidentally magics Wonka to another world, and he arrives in Castle Never while Kira is living there with Forge. Although Forge seems to have been nice to Kira before he revealed his evil side, I get the impression she was pretty lonely there - no other children to play with, and missing Edgin and Holga of course. Could Wonka cheer her up with some nice chocolate and/or a song? Maybe they just play hide and seek - with the added difficulty of her invisibility pendant? Does Kira make it her personal quest to send Wonka home? Maybe they need to sneak into the castle kitchens for a missing ingredient. (Does Kira have to hide Wonka from Sofina? Does Wonka catch sight of Forge and get suspicious that he's connected to the Little Orange Man?)
  
• Or maybe Wonka arrives in the post-film part of Kira's timeline, when she's trying to reconnect to Edgin and Holga. Does Wonka's angst over his own mother mean he understands Kira's feelings? Maybe she's not really sure what she's feeling, or what she wants, and a magical chocolate from him helps her figure it out? Or some chocolate or a song helps her bond with Edgin and Holga again? Maybe Wonka insists a magical picnic will solve everything.
  
• Maybe Wonka stumbles into a tavern in Faerun, and they meet when accidentally starts a singalong with the drunken patrons? Or has to be rescued when he nearly gets into a fight with a burly half-orc? Maybe Kira (and the party) are just there for a meal after a day of adventuring, or maybe Edgin is performing there as a bard... or Kira is nervously attempting a bard performance of her own.
  
• Or maybe Wonka plops into Faerun... right while the party is in the middle of a fight, or a heist. Are he and his magical weirdness an unexpected help? Or a hindrance? Possibly both? Maybe an invisible Kira has to drag Wonka to safety, because he thinks some gnoll sweat would make a great ingredient and is trying to collect it. Does she (and the party) insist on figuring out how to send him home? Is Wonka too excited about a whole new world to want to go home immediately? Maybe the heist is too important to stop for him, and Wonka gets pulled into liberating an artifact from an evil cultist - or maybe that artifact is the key to sending him home? Maybe a noble aim is the only reason he agrees - he definitely didn't approve of stealing milk from someone's doorstep. (Does Xenk have to use paladin logic to convince him it's fine?)
  
• But maybe it's Kira who finds an ordinary-looking door in Castle Never which unexpectedly leads her to wherever Wonka is. Maybe she arrives on that little ship he was travelling on pre-film? Is he confused but excited, and enthusiastic about the puzzle of sending her home? Maybe she can just walk back through the door - but first she helps Wonka collect a strange ingredient, or tests a chocolate for him. Maybe she's not used to travelling by sea, and gets a little seasick - does Wonka gently look after her? Maybe he has a chocolate that cures seasickness.
  
• Or maybe Kira stumbles into Wonka's new factory. Does he give her a magical, colourful, fun-filled tour? Maybe while subtly figuring out her angst and trauma, and finding ways (edible, magical or verbal) to help her with that?
  
• Or maybe Kira arrives while Wonka is still locked up by Mrs Scrubbit. Does she pluckily try to help him (and his friends)? Maybe she joins him on a trip out to sell some chocolate? Her invisibility necklace could come in useful. Or maybe she arrives when Wonka is having a rare vulnerable moment, and it's Kira who has to spark his optimism again. (Possibly tagteaming with Noodle? They could have some interesting interactions too!)
  
• Wonka mentions an interest in magician's tricks, but some of what he does seems like it might be actual magic - or could turn into a talent for actual magic if he arrived in a magical world. Would he, like Simon, turn out to be a sorcerer with unpredictable wild magic? What kind of silly chaos could he accidentally create? He seems like he'd take it all in his stride, so maybe he and Kira just end up giggling about whatever it is!
  
• Or maybe Wonka's chocolate somehow prompts Kira to develop magic powers of her own. Does he eagerly try to help her control them - despite having no idea how they work? Does she start causing chaos? And do they fade once the chocolate wears off - or has he just accidentally revealed the magical talent she had all along?

Visual Prompts

• Kira giggling as Wonka offers her some chocolates.
  
• A cosy scene of them eating chocolates together, on a picnic or by a roaring hearth or...
  
• Or a magical scene as his chocolates cause their usual fun effects - or he's demonstrating his magician's tricks (or new actual magic) with colourful sparks shooting from his sleeves. Or maybe Kira is the one producing magical sparks!
  
• Sneaking around Castle Never together.
  
• Kira resting a hand on a melancholy Wonka's shoulder as they sit on his grubby, possibly half-collapsed bed.
  
• Or Wonka trying to cheer Kira up, with a song or a dance or a hug.
  
• Trying to collect an ingredient from a weird, dangerous and/or improbable source.
  
• Sharing a normal meal by a campfire, smiling at each other.

Nicholas Devereaux/Christopher Pike
Princess Diaries (Movies)/Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Yeah, okay, so I'm pairing these two based on the fact they both love cooking - and both wear an apron to do it. But I do think they'd be really interesting together! They're both charming and playful, and Pike is reassuring in a way Nicholas might really need. After all, Nicholas is being manipulated by his uncle, seemingly the one family member he has left - possibly even the man who raised him. Maybe Pike could help steer Nicholas towards a better path, figure out what he actually wants. But Pike himself isn't free of trauma: he knows a terrible future awaits him, and to avert it would only condemn others to a worse fate. And that's to say nothing of the losses he must already have experienced exploring space - and the guilt he might feel as captain. Maybe the two of them could bond, find a little tenderness, and uplift each other. Or just have some good fun - in the kitchen, or in the bedroom.

(Please set this before Nicholas gets together with Mia! And feel free to use the name Pike or Chris, as you prefer.)

Narrative Prompts

• Maybe a transporter malfunction or a weird alien artifact sends Pike to Genovia. Does he bump into Nicholas, and desperately try to pretend he's not from the future, despite having barely heard of this tiny country? Maybe Nicholas susses him out pretty quick - and insists on helping to get Pike home, because he does have a good heart even if he pretends not to.
  
• Or maybe Nicholas finds an old relic or a secret passageway in the palace, and it somehow sends him to the future. Maybe he could just walk back through the door, but decides to explore first. Or maybe he's trapped - on an alien planet, or on the Enterprise - and Captain Pike insists on trying to get him home. Is this a lowkey, even fluffy situation, as they explore the wonders of a beautiful alien planet together? Maybe a touch of humour as Nicholas discovers food replicators and all that far future gadgetry? Or maybe he's plunged into the middle of a typical Star Trek plot, and tries to contribute as Pike tries to keep him safe - and they end up growing closer. Maybe in a quiet moment, they have a change to discuss their angst too.
  
• Cooking together! Whether Nicholas ends up on the Enterprise or Pike ends up in Genovia, I think the moment they discover they share this interest they'll be into the kitchen like a shot. Sweet or savoury, elaborate or simple... Maybe Nicholas teaches Pike a Genovian recipe? Maybe there's a lot of taste testing and popping morsels into each other's mouths? Maybe they just have a great time sharing this hobby, then sit down to enjoy the resulting food together. (Maybe it's unrealistic that they'd both have their canon aprons with them, but I don't care. Just handwave it and I'll embrace that cuteness.)
  
• Maybe flirty Nicholas meets this handsome older man and just tries to seduce him. Is Pike a little hesitant because of the age difference? But maybe Nicholas is being so honest and practical about what he wants that Pike can see he means it. Or maybe Pike nobly resists at first - but after a near-death experience, or building a genuine connection, he's more eager to share that with Nicholas.

Visual Prompts

• Grinning as they cook together, Pike in his navy apron and Nicholas in his striped blue one.
  
• Pike firing a phaser as he protects Nicholas in battle.
  
• Enjoying a beautiful alien sunset together.
  
• Pike dancing with Nicholas at a Genovian ball.
  
• Having a picnic together.
  
• A tender kiss.
  
• Undressing each other.
  
• Pike gently penetrating Nicholas.
