Ambessa Medarda & Mel Medarda
Ambessa's political beliefs lead her to mould her daughter in uncomfortable ways - pushing empathetic Mel towards actions she's unsettled by, all in the name of strength. But determined Mel has other ways to be strong.
The first time Mel worried her mother didn't love her.
Their last meeting before Mel left for Piltover.
Ambessa playfighting with child Mel.
Mel tries to show Ambessa all she's achieved in Piltover.
A lavish but awkward private dinner in Piltover.
Caitlyn Kiramman & Jayce Talis
They have such fun sibling energy. I love both their early dynamic, with little rich girl Caitlyn trailing after dream-filled Jayce, and their later dynamic as confident and successful adults. Fluffy, silly or tinged with angst; pre-canon or a missing scene anywhere during either season.
Young Caitlyn helping Jayce with his research.
The first time one of them teased the other.
Caitlyn looking after a nervous Jayce at a fancy Kiramman party.
The first time Jayce got to show Caitlyn some working Hextech.
Jayce reassuring Caitlyn when she comes to him with her worries.
Caitlyn Kiramman/Ambessa Medarda
I love the complicated, twisty, intense relationship between these two. It's part mentorship and part manipulation, with strongwilled Caitlyn slowly losing her footing, and mature Ambessa discovering she doesn't hold all the cards. Feel free to delve into their darkness, or to keep to an undercurrent of tension.
Ambessa gives Caitlyn some advice, subtly steering her actions - or her feelings.
Another sparring session.
A private dinner, full of tension.
AU: Caitlyn captured Ambessa instead of killing her.
AU: The Machine Herald arc never happened. How did Ambessa's ambitions play out? Did these two have a different showdown?
Caitlyn Kiramman/Mel Medarda
These two didn't get to interact much but I loved the energy between them, and I think a romance would be really fun and interesting. They're both strong, powerful women with complicated pasts, and I think they'd understand each other - and maybe give each other hope.
Protecting each other in battle.
Attending a fancy party together.
Caitlyn helps Mel practise her magic.
One of them has a nightmare about her past actions and the other one comforts her.
AU: Mel stays in Piltover instead of leaving for Noxus at the end of the series.
Caitlyn Kiramman/Vi
I love these two complicated, emotionally wounded women slowly finding their way towards each other. Feel free to keep it soft and fluffy, or to delve into the darker aspects of them and their relationship.
Caitlyn tries to invent a petname for Vi to rival "Cupcake".
A casual and bantery sparring session.
Caitlyn encourages Vi to try the delicious treats they have in Piltover.
Vi helps Caitlyn change the bandages as her eye heals.
Sharing a picnic as Piltover recovers.
Vi has nightmares about losing Jinx. Caitlyn comforts her.
Ekko/Jinx
I love these two as enemies with secret feelings, but also as a soft couple. Ekko is so kind, so strong, so self-sacrificing, and I think guilt-ravaged Jinx needs that. But he needs that tenderness too. Pre-relationship is fine!
Banter and tension when they meet as enemies in a Zaun alleyway/warehouse/etc.
Working on a gadget together.
Ekko comforting Jinx as she struggles to let go of her guilt.
Sparring together.
Cute pregnancy fluff as they await their first child... or angst as Jinx worries if she'll be a good mother.
Jayce Talis/Mel Medarda
I love how these two supported each other, and that they found some softness together among all their burdens. I think they can be adorable together. But I also like the hints of confident politician Mel steering oblivious newbie Jayce into moral greyness. Pre-relationship is fine!
A quiet evening in, away from the bustle and demands of their lives.
Mel paints a portrait of Jayce.
Sneaking a kiss before a council meeting.
Mel has a nightmare about her mother and Jayce comforts her.
Sometimes Mel's advice only makes Jayce feel more conflicted... till she distracts him with a kiss.
Mel shares a Noxian recipe with Jayce.
Jayce Talis/Mel Medarda/Viktor
Why choose? I think the three of them could find some much needed balance together. And I'd love to see the dynamic of earnest and oblivious Jayce, confident and conflicted Mel, and sassy and intense Viktor as a throuple. (Please make this a full triad and not a V - though it's fine if Mel and Viktor start as metamours.)
Mel's visit to the lab coincides with a minor accident... which creates a soulbond between them all.
Attending a fancy party together.
Jayce's latest experiment went a bit wrong, and now he's compelled to tell the truth. Except he's confessing things he didn't even realise were true...
A heated debate about who gets to be middle spoon in the cuddle pile tonight.
Jayce and Mel both looking after Viktor when he's sick.
AU: Mel's powers also saved Viktor from Jinx's attack on the council.
Jayce Talis/Viktor
Oblivious, earnest Jayce and intense, sassy Viktor are such a great combo. I love these two as lab partners, with all of the close work and intellectual excitement that involves. And I love how narratively entwined they are - feel free to expand that into being soulmates.
Cosy days in the lab - excited brainstorming, eating lunch together, huddling close over the same notebook, or chatting about other topics...
Late nights in the lab - one falling asleep and the other laying a blanket over him, or both of them falling asleep together...
Attending the Young Innovators competition.
Viktor always has a sharp word when someone assumes he needs help - but when he struggles, he can't resent the casual way Jayce looks after him.
Post-canon adventure(s) as they hop between dimensions. Or build a cosy life together in whichever world they land in.
Jinx & Viktor
These two both have such strong personalities and such sassy dialogue - I'd love to see them sparking off each other. But they have some angsty parallels too. Maybe they could reach (or attempt) a softer understanding?
A meeting at the Young Innovators competition.
The shimmer in their respective transformations creates a platonic soulbond between them.
Jinx captures Viktor as ransom/bait/whatever. Viktor is frustratingly calm about it.
AU: Powder was captured after the explosion and became Viktor (and Jayce's) apprentice.
Another chat while Viktor was working on Vander.
Old Mage Viktor offers Jinx the opportunity to see how her life went in other universes.
Fifteenth Doctor/Rogue
I love the little arc these two had - suspicion to mistaken arrest to hesitant trust to vulnerable feelings to a grand sacrifice. And flirting and bantering through it all. With a dance! And a kiss! It's more than I could've hoped for, but I so want to see their romance resume.
The Doctor rescues Rogue and takes him to a beautiful relaxing planet to recover.
Rogue has recurring nightmares about his time stuck in the empty dimension.
They accidentally land on a planet devoted entirely to weddings.
Hostile aliens magically handcuff the Doctor and Rogue together.
Explosions! Running! Saving the world! Rogue joins the Doctor for a normal adventure.
AU: They were never separated.
Doric & Edgin Darvis & Holga Kilgore & Kira Darvis & Simon Aumar & Xenk Yendar
I love all of these characters and would love to see them as a big found family going on adventures together - or the quieter, more everyday moments between them. Could be dramatic or fluffy, silly or serious!
Fond banter as they travel on horseback, set up camp for the night, explore a ruin, get kidnapped by cultists, or...
They encounter a trap or puzzle in a dungeon and try to solve it.
Eating together in a tavern, or around the campfire.
Visiting a market full of interesting wares, or a vibrant festival.
Simon's wild magic causes chaos.
Doric & Kira Darvis
In a future where the party all become heroic adventurers together, I like to think these two would both consider each other part of that found family. Doric's spiky, but she's kind underneath; Kira's experienced some trauma recently, but she's still sweet and earnest. I do think they'd get along.
Doric showing Kira her wildshaping abilities - or letting Kira pet her in animal form.
Everyone else gets captured and these two have to team up to rescue them.
Doric teaches Kira how to imitate some birdcalls.
Owlbear Doric protects Kira during a fight when her invisibility necklace stops working.
Doric & Xenk Yendar
These two are both so principled and caring - despite their sharp tongues. Both of them lost their families and are visibly outsiders, and I think they'd understand each other in a way the others might not. And I think they'd enjoy each other's honesty. I'd love to see them develop a soft and supportive friendship.
Enjoying the some natural beauty together - maybe as Doric explains all the plant species and birdcalls to Xenk.
Doric and Xenk both find it calming when she curls up on him in cat form.
One of them is on camp watch when the other has a nightmare, and provides comfort.
Doric is injured and Xenk heals her with magic - or carries her to safety, if he's out of spells.
Xenk defends Doric when they pass through a town hostile to tieflings - or vice versa, re: Thayans.
Doric/Simon Aumar
These two are so cute. I love the combination of awkward, sarcastic Simon and spiky, principled Doric. Simon is head over heels for her - and she perked up every time he did some impressive magic. All she needed was him to gain some confidence - and now he has, I think they'll work really well together.
Having a picnic in a beautiful meadow, or an autumnal forest, or by a stunning waterfall, or...
Doric turns into a big fluffy animal so Simon can huddle up for warmth.
Simon is soft and understanding when Doric opens up about her family trauma.
They're the perfect team on the battlefield - or while implementing a heist.
Simon comforts Doric after she has a nightmare.
A hesitant first kiss.
Doric starts to understand Simon's issues when she meets his family - all successful wizards.
Edgin Darvis & Holga Kilgore
Platonic life partners! They might (fondly) bicker, but they care about each other so much - they're family, and they're loyal through anything, even two years of prison. Both of them have angsty pasts - Edgin hiding his behind a smile, Holga behind gruffness - and I'd love to see some hesitant vulnerability between them. Or some silliness! Pre-canon, missing scene, or post-canon all fine.
Gleefully planning - or implementing - a bit of thievery together.
A strange relic creates a telepathic link between them... and Edgin's got a song stuck in his head.
Bickering as they do domestic chores around the cottage.
An attempt at heroism results in them being magically handcuffed together,
Revel's End: Comforting each other about missing Kira, or sharing a bed to stay warm.
Edgin Darvis & Holga Kilgore & Zia Darvis (& Kira Darvis)
I love that Holga is so deeply part of the Darvis family, and I'd love to see Zia incorporated too. I really think Holga and Zia would get along - bonding over their affection for Kira, if nothing else. But maybe they'd also team up to keep Edgin under control? Serious or silly, I'd just love to see them all being family.
Edgin finds a new way to resurrect Zia, and they have to navigate this new family setup.
Or Holga was never stabbed, and Edgin used the Table of Reawakening on Zia.
Edgin never stole the Red Wizard's treasure. The Darvises still meet (and adopt) Holga in the tavern that night.
Zia escaped the Red Wizards with Kira, and the Darvises go on the run - and meet Holga, who promises to protect them.
Celebrating Kira's birthday, or a seasonal festival.
A cosy night in the cottage.
Edgin Darvis & Kira Darvis
Edgin makes some bad decisions, but he loves Kira so much. She's sweet and earnest, but grew up thieving - and bears the scars of their separation and Forge's betrayal. You can deal with that angst or keep it cute and fluffy. Pre-canon or post-canon!
Edgin singing Kira a lullaby, or making up a silly song by the campfire.
An awkward but tender conversation as they try to reconnect.
Edgin teaching Kira some thief skills.
Kira has a nightmare about Forge and Edgin comforts her.
Edgin buys Kira a sweet treat at a market.
Edgin Darvis/Xenk Yendar
I love the combo of charming Edgin and stern Xenk. The initial tension, the swearing on the seal, the eventual trust... They both have traumatic losses in their past, and gentle Xenk would be kind with Edgin - as caring leader Edgin would be in return. But would they think a relationship is impossible, and mutually pine? Love their banter, their handholding, and their possibility for tenderness.
A strange relic accidentally creates a soulbond between them.
Edgin comforts Xenk after he has a nightmare.
Their latest quest requires them to go undercover as a couple.
Xenk heals Edgin when he's injured - or Edgin looks after an injured Xenk when his magic's run out.
A cosy evening in a tavern, or at home in the cottage.
Xenk can't hide his seasickness any more - but when Edgin realises, he looks after him.
Edgin Darvis/Xenk Yendar/Zia Darvis
Why choose? I'd love to see Edgin be happy with his wife and his husband - and Xenk and Zia happy with each other. What kind of dynamic would arise between charming Edgin, stern but caring Xenk, and sweet and sensible Zia?
Edgin and Xenk have been together for a while... when Edgin finds a way to bring Zia back.
AU: Edgin never stole the Red Wizard's treasure, and stayed a Harper. He gets assigned to work with Xenk.
AU: Zia escaped the Red Wizards with Kira, and the Darvises go on the run - and meet Xenk, who promises to protect them.
Comfortable domesticity as an established throuple, looking after Kira in the cottage.
Adventuring as an established throuple, working together to help people and explore dungeons.
Holga Kilgore & Kira Darvis
I have so many feelings about Holga being Kira's mother. Gruff Holga is at her softest with Kira - calling her Bug, giving her hugs, teaching her to walk... and Kira is so sweet and openly loving in return. Kira doesn't blame Holga for their separation, but they'll still need to reconnect. Pre-canon or post-canon both welcome.
Holga braiding Kira's hair - or vice versa.
Celebrating one of their birthdays.
Kira loves Holga's bedtime stories - especially when they're a bit scary.
Holga teaching Kira how to fight.
Kira has a nightmare about Forge and Holga comforts her.
Holga Kilgore & Xenk Yendar
Despite Holga's assertion that Xenk isn't fun, I think a strong friendship could grow between them. He'd be gentle with her angst - because he's like that, but also because he lost his family too. And both being martial classes, I think they could find some common ground there.
Holga takes Xenk on a pub crawl to show him how to have fun. Or he shares his idea of fun.
Sparring together, or polishing their weapons together.
Protecting each other in battle.
Holga is delighted to discover Xenk once saved Ghelryn Foehammer.
Xenk gently convinces an injured Holga to let him heal her.
Kira Darvis & Simon Aumar
These two must've been travelling together as part of Edgin's gang for years. I like to think they have a cute sibling-type relationship. Was little Kira one of the few to look up to awkward Simon? What's their dynamic now he's more confident - and she's more emotionally scarred?
Simon awes a young Kira with some sparkly magic.
They get captured and thrown into a cell together. Simon tries to keep Kira calm.
Kira starts showing magical talent, so Simon tries to teach her a few spells.
Simon braiding Kira's hair - or bashfully letting Kira play dressup with him.
AU: At Korinn's Keep, Edgin entrusted Kira's care to Simon instead of Forge.
Kira Darvis & Xenk Yendar
Kira is sweet and earnest, but has to be haunted by two years without Edgin and Holga - and Forge's betrayal. Xenk is awkward and literal - but he's so kind that I'm sure he'd win Kira over. I'd love to see a soft and gentle bond between them. Fine with this either in the context of Xenk/Edgin, or just Xenk joining the party as a friend.
Xenk braiding Kira's hair, or her helping him with his locs.
They get captured and thrown into a cell together. Xenk tries to keep Kira calm.
Kira loves how seriously Xenk takes it when they snowball fight - and how seriously he takes all of her girlish concerns.
Xenk protects Kira during a battle when her invisibility pendant stops working.
Playing hide and seek, with Xenk using his extra-sensitive sight and hearing to find invisible Kira.
Simon Aumar & Xenk Yendar
These two have such different styles of communcation - sarcastic vs literal - but I feel like they'd really bond, given enough time. Maybe they'd each worry that the other doesn't like them, but I'd love to see them established a firm and mutual friendship. Xenk would be gentle with Simon's self-confidence issues, and Simon doesn't care about Xenk being an undeadish Thayan. I think they could be really soft and fun together.
Xenk seeks out a rare book on magic to gift to Simon.
Completing a dungeon together, just the two of them, helps them bond as a team.
One of Simon's spells misfires - and creates a telepathic link between them. But at least now Xenk knows when Simon's being sarcastic...
Xenk has a nightmare while Simon's on camp watch; Simon comforts him.
Simon suffers from seasickness. Xenk's magic can't help - but he can sit and comfort Simon.
Mia Thermopolis/Nicholas Devereaux
I love the push-and-pull tension of them as rivals, and their sweeter side that night they danced under the stars. Nicholas had realistic objections to Mia's rule, but she proved she's up to it - and he fully believes in her after that. As someone trained to be king, I think Nicholas would know exactly how to support Mia, and they'd make a great royal couple - and adorable partners in private.
Nicholas bakes something delicious for Mia - or gives her a hands-on baking lesson.
One of Mia's clumsy moments gives her a painful bruise or twisted ankle. Nicholas looks after her.
Having a midnight picnic on their first anniversary.
Nicholas gets sick and Mia looks after him, or Nicholas looks after Mia when she's pregnant.
Dancing together at a royal ball - or in private.
Mia comforts Nicholas when he's angsting about Mabrey's betrayal. Maybe Nicholas worries he doesn't know how to be a good father?
Cute fluff with their kid(s): playing together, bedtime stories, messy baking, teaching them to walk and talk...
Celebrimbor & Elrond Peredhel
From initial respect and admiration, these two built such a lovely, soft friendship. They work so well as a team, with Elrond helping Celebrimbor achieve his goals, and Celebrimbor gently encouraging Elrond. I loved their loyalty and their trust. A missing scene or a canon divergent AU would be great.
Celebrimbor showing Elrond his sketches for future projects.
Elrond marvelling at Celebrimbor's work.
Appreciating the beauty of nature or the turning of the seasons, on a picnic or while travelling.
Celebrimbor Lives ... and Elrond gently tends his wounds.
Celebrimbor Lives ... but he's haunted by nightmares. Elrond comforts him.
Celebrimbor/Elrond Peredhel
I think these two would be just as interesting as romantic partners as they are as friends. They're so sweet and supportive, and they're both clever in their own ways. I'd love to see kind, principled Elrond and vulnerable, determined Celebrimbor find some tenderness together.
A romantic twist on any prompt for the & version above.
Even wordsmith Elrond struggles to craft the perfect confession of his love.
Celebrimbor crafts a special gift to symbolise his feelings for Elrond.
A relaxed and cosy breakfast, or gentle cuddles as the night draws in.
Elrond Peredhel/Galadriel
I love their friendship and I'd love them to develop a romance as well. After so many years, they already have such trust and understanding - even if Elrond worries about Galadriel's path. Maybe he could help bring her peace, and she could bring more joy to his life.
Appreciating the colour changes in the autumnal leaves leads them to consider their growing feelings.
Elrond braids Galadriel's hair.
Even wordsmith Elrond struggles to craft the perfect confession of his love.
Galadriel has a nightmare and Elrond gently comforts her.
Protecting each other in battle.
Elrond gently looks after Galadriel as she recovers from her wounds.
Elanor "Nori" Brandyfoot & The Stranger
Their friendship is just adorable. I love tiny, sparky Nori looking after the gangly, confused Stranger - and his urge to protect her in turn. His magic is full of wonder as well as danger, and I'd love to see them supporting each other as they quest across this big, wide world. A missing scene or future adventures both welcome.
They discover an odd new plant and its fruit turns out to be delicious.
A visit to a magical spring leaves Nori and the Stranger with an unexpected soulbond.
The Stranger accidentally turns himself into a cute little animal. Nori looks after him till he turns back.
A magical artifact bonds itself to Nori and starts doing odd things.
The Stranger giving a piggyback to an exhausted and/or ill Nori.
James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy
Bantery best friends! There's so much loyalty and trust here, even when they're grumping at each other. I love grumpy-but-caring Bones trying to keep a handle on charming-but-reckless Kirk. I think they'd make a great couple, whether they get together at the Academy or once aboard the Enterprise.
They share a dorm at the Academy... and have to huddle for warmth one winter night when the heating breaks.
Kirk gets hit by cuddle pollen. Unfortunately he's also mildly allergic to it.
Bones doesn't know why Kirk has started coughing up petals, but he's determined to figure out a cure.
Kirk has a nightmare and Bones comforts him.
When they're exposed to a truth serum, they discover the one secret they've both been keeping: their mutual pining.
Kirk tries to find a planet so beautiful and relaxing that even Bones can't grouse through their shore leave.
James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock
Charming, reckless Kirk; grumpy, caring Bones; logical, repressed Spock. I love the dynamic they form together, bantering but supporting each other, blending their skills to save the day. They might struggle to admit it, but there's so much respect between them - and affection too. Don't mind if they all get together at once, or if two are a couple and bring in the third.
They visit a planet where all marriages are group marriages.
An alien artifact magically handcuffs all three of them together.
Trapped on a snow planet, they have to huddle for warmth till rescue arrives.
A mindmeld goes wrong and now Spock has a telepathic link... with both of them.
Kirk gets sick during a mission and the other two have to look after him.
Watching a beautiful sunset on the alien planet where they're on shore leave together.
Christopher Pike/James T. Kirk
Pike was the first person to believe in Kirk - and the one who got him to believe in himself. I love that mentorship, and all the hope that gives to traumatised Kirk, but I also love Kirk rescuing Pike from Nero. There's a mutual respect and trust - but would the age difference and power dynamic leave one or both of them conflicted about making a move?
Kirk stayed as Pike's First Officer on the Enterprise.
Pike survived Khan's attack. Kirk helps take care of him as he recovers.
They encounter a strange artifact which creates a telepathic link between them.
Kirk is injured while they're trapped on an alien planet, and Pike has to look after him till they can be rescued.
Another late night meeting in a bar leads them to a tender kiss.
James T. Kirk/Spock
I love the clash between reserved, logical Spock and charming, reckless Kirk - and the way they respect and support each other too. They both have such angst and trauma, even if Spock represses everything. I love the push-and-pull of Spock valiantly advising Kirk, who values his input but also constantly grates against it - they balance each other, but there's a fascinating friction too.
Kirk is injured on an away mission and Spock carries him to safety.
When he's exposed to truth serum, Spock isn't worried - till he starts saying all these emotional things.
Their latest mission requires them to go undercover as a couple.
Trapped on a chilly planet, they have to huddle for warmth over night.
Spock has to repress a sigh whenever Kirk makes flirty eyes at him on the bridge.
Daniel Jackson/Jack O'Neill
These two have such a fun dynamic: sassy leader Jack rebelling against authority, caring academic Daniel making sharp comments. But even when they bicker, they's such loyalty and affection between them.
Jack looks after an injured Daniel when they get captured together.
Their banter takes on a different tone when one (or both) of them gets hit by truth pollen.
Jack sighs at Daniel's intense enthusiasm about some ruins - but makes sure he gets to visit.
An alien artifact magically handcuffs them together.
Extended lockdown at the base or being trapped on a planet for a long time results in them inventing increasingly silly games to pass the time.
Daniel Jackson/Sam Carter
They have such a soft and supportive friendship, and I think they understand each other's intellectual interests in a way the others don't. Sometimes they had a frisson - I'd love to see a romance bloom between them.
Geeking out together and/or teaming up to use their cleverness to save the day.
Sam is injured on a mission and Daniel gently comforts her till rescue arrives.
Cuddling up on a sofa as they read academic papers together.
The inhabitants of the latest planet mistake them for a couple, and they have to go along with it for the sake of the mission.
Daniel gets hits by cuddle pollen, but his attempts to be gentlemanly just make the symptoms worse.
Jack O'Neill/Teal'c
The loyalty and trust here is incredible. After one day, Teal'c was so convinced of Jack's worthiness that he swapped sides, left behind his whole life, and never wavered from that choice. And Jack valued and respected Teal'c - as an ally and a friend. I'd love some tender feelings to develop between them.
Teal'c has to look after Jack and get him to safety when he's injured during a mission.
A quiet day of fishing together.
Jack introduces Teal'c to some Earth novelties.
Teal'c has to pretend to betray Jack while undercover - and Jack has to trust that it is pretend.
When he starts coughing up petals, Teal'c thinks it's a side effect of the tretonin, but...
My prompts are just examples - don't feel you have to stick to them exactly! If you're inspired to put a twist on one, or swap out some elements, or combine prompts - feel free to do so. Or pick anything from my likes lists - including just the broad categories like "fluff" or "hurt/comfort"!

Ambessa Medarda & Mel Medarda
Ambessa's political beliefs lead her to mould her daughter in uncomfortable ways - pushing empathetic Mel towards actions she's unsettled by, all in the name of strength. But determined Mel has other ways to be strong.
The first time Mel worried her mother didn't love her.
Their last meeting before Mel left for Piltover.
Ambessa playfighting with child Mel.
Mel tries to show Ambessa all she's achieved in Piltover.
A lavish but awkward private dinner in Piltover.
Caitlyn Kiramman & Jayce Talis
They have such fun sibling energy. I love both their early dynamic, with little rich girl Caitlyn trailing after dream-filled Jayce, and their later dynamic as confident and successful adults. Fluffy, silly or tinged with angst; pre-canon or a missing scene anywhere during either season.
Young Caitlyn helping Jayce with his research.
The first time one of them teased the other.
Caitlyn looking after a nervous Jayce at a fancy Kiramman party.
The first time Jayce got to show Caitlyn some working Hextech.
Jayce reassuring Caitlyn when she comes to him with her worries.
Caitlyn Kiramman/Ambessa Medarda
I love the complicated, twisty, intense relationship between these two. It's part mentorship and part manipulation, with strongwilled Caitlyn slowly losing her footing, and mature Ambessa discovering she doesn't hold all the cards. Feel free to delve into their darkness, or to keep to an undercurrent of tension.
Ambessa gives Caitlyn some advice, subtly steering her actions - or her feelings.
Another sparring session.
A private dinner, full of tension.
Prompts with spoilers for season 2
AU: Caitlyn captured Ambessa instead of killing her.
AU: The Machine Herald arc never happened. How did Ambessa's ambitions play out? Did these two have a different showdown?
Caitlyn Kiramman/Mel Medarda
These two didn't get to interact much but I loved the energy between them, and I think a romance would be really fun and interesting. They're both strong, powerful women with complicated pasts, and I think they'd understand each other - and maybe give each other hope.
Protecting each other in battle.
Attending a fancy party together.
Prompts with spoilers for season 2
Caitlyn helps Mel practise her magic.
One of them has a nightmare about her past actions and the other one comforts her.
AU: Mel stays in Piltover instead of leaving for Noxus at the end of the series.
Caitlyn Kiramman/Vi
I love these two complicated, emotionally wounded women slowly finding their way towards each other. Feel free to keep it soft and fluffy, or to delve into the darker aspects of them and their relationship.
Caitlyn tries to invent a petname for Vi to rival "Cupcake".
A casual and bantery sparring session.
Caitlyn encourages Vi to try the delicious treats they have in Piltover.
Prompts with spoilers for season 2
Vi helps Caitlyn change the bandages as her eye heals.
Sharing a picnic as Piltover recovers.

Ekko/Jinx
I love these two as enemies with secret feelings, but also as a soft couple. Ekko is so kind, so strong, so self-sacrificing, and I think guilt-ravaged Jinx needs that. But he needs that tenderness too. Pre-relationship is fine!
Banter and tension when they meet as enemies in a Zaun alleyway/warehouse/etc.
Working on a gadget together.
Ekko comforting Jinx as she struggles to let go of her guilt.
Sparring together.
Cute pregnancy fluff as they await their first child... or angst as Jinx worries if she'll be a good mother.
Jayce Talis/Mel Medarda
I love how these two supported each other, and that they found some softness together among all their burdens. I think they can be adorable together. But I also like the hints of confident politician Mel steering oblivious newbie Jayce into moral greyness. Pre-relationship is fine!
A quiet evening in, away from the bustle and demands of their lives.
Mel paints a portrait of Jayce.
Sneaking a kiss before a council meeting.
Mel has a nightmare about her mother and Jayce comforts her.
Sometimes Mel's advice only makes Jayce feel more conflicted... till she distracts him with a kiss.
Mel shares a Noxian recipe with Jayce.
Jayce Talis/Mel Medarda/Viktor
Why choose? I think the three of them could find some much needed balance together. And I'd love to see the dynamic of earnest and oblivious Jayce, confident and conflicted Mel, and sassy and intense Viktor as a throuple. (Please make this a full triad and not a V - though it's fine if Mel and Viktor start as metamours.)
Mel's visit to the lab coincides with a minor accident... which creates a soulbond between them all.
Attending a fancy party together.
Jayce's latest experiment went a bit wrong, and now he's compelled to tell the truth. Except he's confessing things he didn't even realise were true...
A heated debate about who gets to be middle spoon in the cuddle pile tonight.
Jayce and Mel both looking after Viktor when he's sick.
Prompts with spoilers for season 2
AU: Mel's powers also saved Viktor from Jinx's attack on the council.
Jayce Talis/Viktor
Oblivious, earnest Jayce and intense, sassy Viktor are such a great combo. I love these two as lab partners, with all of the close work and intellectual excitement that involves. And I love how narratively entwined they are - feel free to expand that into being soulmates.
Cosy days in the lab - excited brainstorming, eating lunch together, huddling close over the same notebook, or chatting about other topics...
Late nights in the lab - one falling asleep and the other laying a blanket over him, or both of them falling asleep together...
Attending the Young Innovators competition.
Viktor always has a sharp word when someone assumes he needs help - but when he struggles, he can't resent the casual way Jayce looks after him.
Prompts with spoilers for season 2
Post-canon adventure(s) as they hop between dimensions. Or build a cosy life together in whichever world they land in.
Jinx & Viktor
These two both have such strong personalities and such sassy dialogue - I'd love to see them sparking off each other. But they have some angsty parallels too. Maybe they could reach (or attempt) a softer understanding?
A meeting at the Young Innovators competition.
The shimmer in their respective transformations creates a platonic soulbond between them.
Jinx captures Viktor as ransom/bait/whatever. Viktor is frustratingly calm about it.
AU: Powder was captured after the explosion and became Viktor (and Jayce's) apprentice.
Prompts with spoilers for season 2
Another chat while Viktor was working on Vander.
Old Mage Viktor offers Jinx the opportunity to see how her life went in other universes.
Fifteenth Doctor/Rogue
I love the little arc these two had - suspicion to mistaken arrest to hesitant trust to vulnerable feelings to a grand sacrifice. And flirting and bantering through it all. With a dance! And a kiss! It's more than I could've hoped for, but I so want to see their romance resume.
The Doctor rescues Rogue and takes him to a beautiful relaxing planet to recover.
Rogue has recurring nightmares about his time stuck in the empty dimension.
They accidentally land on a planet devoted entirely to weddings.
Hostile aliens magically handcuff the Doctor and Rogue together.
Explosions! Running! Saving the world! Rogue joins the Doctor for a normal adventure.
AU: They were never separated.
Doric & Edgin Darvis & Holga Kilgore & Kira Darvis & Simon Aumar & Xenk Yendar
I love all of these characters and would love to see them as a big found family going on adventures together - or the quieter, more everyday moments between them. Could be dramatic or fluffy, silly or serious!
Fond banter as they travel on horseback, set up camp for the night, explore a ruin, get kidnapped by cultists, or...
They encounter a trap or puzzle in a dungeon and try to solve it.
Eating together in a tavern, or around the campfire.
Visiting a market full of interesting wares, or a vibrant festival.
Simon's wild magic causes chaos.
Doric & Kira Darvis
In a future where the party all become heroic adventurers together, I like to think these two would both consider each other part of that found family. Doric's spiky, but she's kind underneath; Kira's experienced some trauma recently, but she's still sweet and earnest. I do think they'd get along.
Doric showing Kira her wildshaping abilities - or letting Kira pet her in animal form.
Everyone else gets captured and these two have to team up to rescue them.
Doric teaches Kira how to imitate some birdcalls.
Owlbear Doric protects Kira during a fight when her invisibility necklace stops working.
Doric & Xenk Yendar
These two are both so principled and caring - despite their sharp tongues. Both of them lost their families and are visibly outsiders, and I think they'd understand each other in a way the others might not. And I think they'd enjoy each other's honesty. I'd love to see them develop a soft and supportive friendship.
Enjoying the some natural beauty together - maybe as Doric explains all the plant species and birdcalls to Xenk.
Doric and Xenk both find it calming when she curls up on him in cat form.
One of them is on camp watch when the other has a nightmare, and provides comfort.
Doric is injured and Xenk heals her with magic - or carries her to safety, if he's out of spells.
Xenk defends Doric when they pass through a town hostile to tieflings - or vice versa, re: Thayans.
Doric/Simon Aumar
These two are so cute. I love the combination of awkward, sarcastic Simon and spiky, principled Doric. Simon is head over heels for her - and she perked up every time he did some impressive magic. All she needed was him to gain some confidence - and now he has, I think they'll work really well together.
Having a picnic in a beautiful meadow, or an autumnal forest, or by a stunning waterfall, or...
Doric turns into a big fluffy animal so Simon can huddle up for warmth.
Simon is soft and understanding when Doric opens up about her family trauma.
They're the perfect team on the battlefield - or while implementing a heist.
Simon comforts Doric after she has a nightmare.
A hesitant first kiss.
Doric starts to understand Simon's issues when she meets his family - all successful wizards.
Edgin Darvis & Holga Kilgore
Platonic life partners! They might (fondly) bicker, but they care about each other so much - they're family, and they're loyal through anything, even two years of prison. Both of them have angsty pasts - Edgin hiding his behind a smile, Holga behind gruffness - and I'd love to see some hesitant vulnerability between them. Or some silliness! Pre-canon, missing scene, or post-canon all fine.
Gleefully planning - or implementing - a bit of thievery together.
A strange relic creates a telepathic link between them... and Edgin's got a song stuck in his head.
Bickering as they do domestic chores around the cottage.
An attempt at heroism results in them being magically handcuffed together,
Revel's End: Comforting each other about missing Kira, or sharing a bed to stay warm.
Edgin Darvis & Holga Kilgore & Zia Darvis (& Kira Darvis)
I love that Holga is so deeply part of the Darvis family, and I'd love to see Zia incorporated too. I really think Holga and Zia would get along - bonding over their affection for Kira, if nothing else. But maybe they'd also team up to keep Edgin under control? Serious or silly, I'd just love to see them all being family.
Edgin finds a new way to resurrect Zia, and they have to navigate this new family setup.
Or Holga was never stabbed, and Edgin used the Table of Reawakening on Zia.
Edgin never stole the Red Wizard's treasure. The Darvises still meet (and adopt) Holga in the tavern that night.
Zia escaped the Red Wizards with Kira, and the Darvises go on the run - and meet Holga, who promises to protect them.
Celebrating Kira's birthday, or a seasonal festival.
A cosy night in the cottage.
Edgin Darvis & Kira Darvis
Edgin makes some bad decisions, but he loves Kira so much. She's sweet and earnest, but grew up thieving - and bears the scars of their separation and Forge's betrayal. You can deal with that angst or keep it cute and fluffy. Pre-canon or post-canon!
Edgin singing Kira a lullaby, or making up a silly song by the campfire.
An awkward but tender conversation as they try to reconnect.
Edgin teaching Kira some thief skills.
Kira has a nightmare about Forge and Edgin comforts her.
Edgin buys Kira a sweet treat at a market.
Edgin Darvis/Xenk Yendar
I love the combo of charming Edgin and stern Xenk. The initial tension, the swearing on the seal, the eventual trust... They both have traumatic losses in their past, and gentle Xenk would be kind with Edgin - as caring leader Edgin would be in return. But would they think a relationship is impossible, and mutually pine? Love their banter, their handholding, and their possibility for tenderness.
A strange relic accidentally creates a soulbond between them.
Edgin comforts Xenk after he has a nightmare.
Their latest quest requires them to go undercover as a couple.
Xenk heals Edgin when he's injured - or Edgin looks after an injured Xenk when his magic's run out.
A cosy evening in a tavern, or at home in the cottage.
Xenk can't hide his seasickness any more - but when Edgin realises, he looks after him.
Edgin Darvis/Xenk Yendar/Zia Darvis
Why choose? I'd love to see Edgin be happy with his wife and his husband - and Xenk and Zia happy with each other. What kind of dynamic would arise between charming Edgin, stern but caring Xenk, and sweet and sensible Zia?
Edgin and Xenk have been together for a while... when Edgin finds a way to bring Zia back.
AU: Edgin never stole the Red Wizard's treasure, and stayed a Harper. He gets assigned to work with Xenk.
AU: Zia escaped the Red Wizards with Kira, and the Darvises go on the run - and meet Xenk, who promises to protect them.
Comfortable domesticity as an established throuple, looking after Kira in the cottage.
Adventuring as an established throuple, working together to help people and explore dungeons.
Holga Kilgore & Kira Darvis
I have so many feelings about Holga being Kira's mother. Gruff Holga is at her softest with Kira - calling her Bug, giving her hugs, teaching her to walk... and Kira is so sweet and openly loving in return. Kira doesn't blame Holga for their separation, but they'll still need to reconnect. Pre-canon or post-canon both welcome.
Holga braiding Kira's hair - or vice versa.
Celebrating one of their birthdays.
Kira loves Holga's bedtime stories - especially when they're a bit scary.
Holga teaching Kira how to fight.
Kira has a nightmare about Forge and Holga comforts her.
Holga Kilgore & Xenk Yendar
Despite Holga's assertion that Xenk isn't fun, I think a strong friendship could grow between them. He'd be gentle with her angst - because he's like that, but also because he lost his family too. And both being martial classes, I think they could find some common ground there.
Holga takes Xenk on a pub crawl to show him how to have fun. Or he shares his idea of fun.
Sparring together, or polishing their weapons together.
Protecting each other in battle.
Holga is delighted to discover Xenk once saved Ghelryn Foehammer.
Xenk gently convinces an injured Holga to let him heal her.
Kira Darvis & Simon Aumar
These two must've been travelling together as part of Edgin's gang for years. I like to think they have a cute sibling-type relationship. Was little Kira one of the few to look up to awkward Simon? What's their dynamic now he's more confident - and she's more emotionally scarred?
Simon awes a young Kira with some sparkly magic.
They get captured and thrown into a cell together. Simon tries to keep Kira calm.
Kira starts showing magical talent, so Simon tries to teach her a few spells.
Simon braiding Kira's hair - or bashfully letting Kira play dressup with him.
AU: At Korinn's Keep, Edgin entrusted Kira's care to Simon instead of Forge.
Kira Darvis & Xenk Yendar
Kira is sweet and earnest, but has to be haunted by two years without Edgin and Holga - and Forge's betrayal. Xenk is awkward and literal - but he's so kind that I'm sure he'd win Kira over. I'd love to see a soft and gentle bond between them. Fine with this either in the context of Xenk/Edgin, or just Xenk joining the party as a friend.
Xenk braiding Kira's hair, or her helping him with his locs.
They get captured and thrown into a cell together. Xenk tries to keep Kira calm.

Playing hide and seek, with Xenk using his extra-sensitive sight and hearing to find invisible Kira.
Simon Aumar & Xenk Yendar
These two have such different styles of communcation - sarcastic vs literal - but I feel like they'd really bond, given enough time. Maybe they'd each worry that the other doesn't like them, but I'd love to see them established a firm and mutual friendship. Xenk would be gentle with Simon's self-confidence issues, and Simon doesn't care about Xenk being an undeadish Thayan. I think they could be really soft and fun together.
Xenk seeks out a rare book on magic to gift to Simon.
Completing a dungeon together, just the two of them, helps them bond as a team.
One of Simon's spells misfires - and creates a telepathic link between them. But at least now Xenk knows when Simon's being sarcastic...
Xenk has a nightmare while Simon's on camp watch; Simon comforts him.
Simon suffers from seasickness. Xenk's magic can't help - but he can sit and comfort Simon.
Mia Thermopolis/Nicholas Devereaux
I love the push-and-pull tension of them as rivals, and their sweeter side that night they danced under the stars. Nicholas had realistic objections to Mia's rule, but she proved she's up to it - and he fully believes in her after that. As someone trained to be king, I think Nicholas would know exactly how to support Mia, and they'd make a great royal couple - and adorable partners in private.
Nicholas bakes something delicious for Mia - or gives her a hands-on baking lesson.
One of Mia's clumsy moments gives her a painful bruise or twisted ankle. Nicholas looks after her.
Having a midnight picnic on their first anniversary.
Nicholas gets sick and Mia looks after him, or Nicholas looks after Mia when she's pregnant.
Dancing together at a royal ball - or in private.
Mia comforts Nicholas when he's angsting about Mabrey's betrayal. Maybe Nicholas worries he doesn't know how to be a good father?
Cute fluff with their kid(s): playing together, bedtime stories, messy baking, teaching them to walk and talk...
Celebrimbor & Elrond Peredhel
From initial respect and admiration, these two built such a lovely, soft friendship. They work so well as a team, with Elrond helping Celebrimbor achieve his goals, and Celebrimbor gently encouraging Elrond. I loved their loyalty and their trust. A missing scene or a canon divergent AU would be great.
Celebrimbor showing Elrond his sketches for future projects.
Elrond marvelling at Celebrimbor's work.
Appreciating the beauty of nature or the turning of the seasons, on a picnic or while travelling.
Celebrimbor Lives ... and Elrond gently tends his wounds.
Celebrimbor Lives ... but he's haunted by nightmares. Elrond comforts him.
Celebrimbor/Elrond Peredhel
I think these two would be just as interesting as romantic partners as they are as friends. They're so sweet and supportive, and they're both clever in their own ways. I'd love to see kind, principled Elrond and vulnerable, determined Celebrimbor find some tenderness together.
A romantic twist on any prompt for the & version above.
Even wordsmith Elrond struggles to craft the perfect confession of his love.
Celebrimbor crafts a special gift to symbolise his feelings for Elrond.
A relaxed and cosy breakfast, or gentle cuddles as the night draws in.
Elrond Peredhel/Galadriel
I love their friendship and I'd love them to develop a romance as well. After so many years, they already have such trust and understanding - even if Elrond worries about Galadriel's path. Maybe he could help bring her peace, and she could bring more joy to his life.
Appreciating the colour changes in the autumnal leaves leads them to consider their growing feelings.
Elrond braids Galadriel's hair.
Even wordsmith Elrond struggles to craft the perfect confession of his love.
Galadriel has a nightmare and Elrond gently comforts her.
Protecting each other in battle.
Elrond gently looks after Galadriel as she recovers from her wounds.
Elanor "Nori" Brandyfoot & The Stranger
Their friendship is just adorable. I love tiny, sparky Nori looking after the gangly, confused Stranger - and his urge to protect her in turn. His magic is full of wonder as well as danger, and I'd love to see them supporting each other as they quest across this big, wide world. A missing scene or future adventures both welcome.
They discover an odd new plant and its fruit turns out to be delicious.
A visit to a magical spring leaves Nori and the Stranger with an unexpected soulbond.
The Stranger accidentally turns himself into a cute little animal. Nori looks after him till he turns back.

The Stranger giving a piggyback to an exhausted and/or ill Nori.
James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy
Bantery best friends! There's so much loyalty and trust here, even when they're grumping at each other. I love grumpy-but-caring Bones trying to keep a handle on charming-but-reckless Kirk. I think they'd make a great couple, whether they get together at the Academy or once aboard the Enterprise.
They share a dorm at the Academy... and have to huddle for warmth one winter night when the heating breaks.

James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock
Charming, reckless Kirk; grumpy, caring Bones; logical, repressed Spock. I love the dynamic they form together, bantering but supporting each other, blending their skills to save the day. They might struggle to admit it, but there's so much respect between them - and affection too. Don't mind if they all get together at once, or if two are a couple and bring in the third.
They visit a planet where all marriages are group marriages.
An alien artifact magically handcuffs all three of them together.
Trapped on a snow planet, they have to huddle for warmth till rescue arrives.

Watching a beautiful sunset on the alien planet where they're on shore leave together.
Christopher Pike/James T. Kirk
Pike was the first person to believe in Kirk - and the one who got him to believe in himself. I love that mentorship, and all the hope that gives to traumatised Kirk, but I also love Kirk rescuing Pike from Nero. There's a mutual respect and trust - but would the age difference and power dynamic leave one or both of them conflicted about making a move?
Kirk stayed as Pike's First Officer on the Enterprise.
Pike survived Khan's attack. Kirk helps take care of him as he recovers.
They encounter a strange artifact which creates a telepathic link between them.
Kirk is injured while they're trapped on an alien planet, and Pike has to look after him till they can be rescued.
Another late night meeting in a bar leads them to a tender kiss.
James T. Kirk/Spock
I love the clash between reserved, logical Spock and charming, reckless Kirk - and the way they respect and support each other too. They both have such angst and trauma, even if Spock represses everything. I love the push-and-pull of Spock valiantly advising Kirk, who values his input but also constantly grates against it - they balance each other, but there's a fascinating friction too.
Kirk is injured on an away mission and Spock carries him to safety.
When he's exposed to truth serum, Spock isn't worried - till he starts saying all these emotional things.
Their latest mission requires them to go undercover as a couple.

Jack looks after an injured Daniel when they get captured together.
Their banter takes on a different tone when one (or both) of them gets hit by truth pollen.
Jack sighs at Daniel's intense enthusiasm about some ruins - but makes sure he gets to visit.

Extended lockdown at the base or being trapped on a planet for a long time results in them inventing increasingly silly games to pass the time.
Daniel Jackson/Sam Carter
They have such a soft and supportive friendship, and I think they understand each other's intellectual interests in a way the others don't. Sometimes they had a frisson - I'd love to see a romance bloom between them.
Geeking out together and/or teaming up to use their cleverness to save the day.
Sam is injured on a mission and Daniel gently comforts her till rescue arrives.
Cuddling up on a sofa as they read academic papers together.

Daniel gets hits by cuddle pollen, but his attempts to be gentlemanly just make the symptoms worse.
Jack O'Neill/Teal'c
The loyalty and trust here is incredible. After one day, Teal'c was so convinced of Jack's worthiness that he swapped sides, left behind his whole life, and never wavered from that choice. And Jack valued and respected Teal'c - as an ally and a friend. I'd love some tender feelings to develop between them.
Teal'c has to look after Jack and get him to safety when he's injured during a mission.
A quiet day of fishing together.
Jack introduces Teal'c to some Earth novelties.
