Pregnancy hurt/comfort: morning sickness, pampering partner.
Forced proximity: stuck in a prison cell together, only one bed, trapped by a cave-in, hiding in a closet, handcuffed together, magic spell, etc.
Sparring and combat tutoring. Character A defending character B with character B's weapon.

Impact bruises. Being manually choked. Twisted ankles.

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).

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.

Doric/Xenk Yendar

We don't really get any focused moments between these two in the film, but Doric actually seems like the least hostile to Xenk from the beginning - ironic considering her stance on humans started as "hateful and selfish" and "just can't help but lie"... but then Xenk and his ridiculous paladin goodness are so obviously the opposite of that! If Xenk joined the party for further adventures, I like to imagine they'd become good friends, and then fall in love (maybe after mutually pining). Or maybe just gently looking after each other during a dubcon scenario.

I love Doric's combination of a sharp tongue with her moral integrity and intense environmental concern, and how that contrasts and blends with Xenk's stern intensity, his awkward ways, and his own intense sense of justice and goodness. They're both visibly outsiders in ways the others aren't, so maybe they would have a natural understanding - or they'd bond over the angst of losing their families because of it. And between their outsider status and Xenk's sense of duty, I tend to imagine they're both virgins.

(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)

Doric gets injured and tries to remain stoic as Xenk heals her, even though he has to press his hands to her bare skin. Or Xenk gets injured, and can't heal himself - but Doric knows a natural remedy, and the plant grows in this area. Maybe the intimacy of the healing sparks a frisson between them, and results in a kiss.
Or maybe Doric's injury results in her collapsing, and Xenk catches her before she hits the ground. And the way he's holding her close, looking at her with such concern, sets her heart pounding...
Or their quest requires travelling by boat - and Xenk turns out to get really seasick. Doric sits with Xenk as he (tries not to) vomit, gently rubbing his back, softening her sharp tongue to comfort him - with her openness and his vulnerability resulting in some unexpected tenderness?
A strange artifact accidentally creates a soulbond between them. Now they're stuck hearing each other's thoughts, feeling each other's feelings, and/or unable to move more than a few feet apart. Maybe they're mostly concerned with the practical aspects of continuing to adventure, as they search for a cure... but the forced proximity and unexpected intimacy brings them together. Maybe the spell means they'll get really sick if they don't have a certain amount of skin-to-skin contact every day... or if they don't have sex every day.
Huddling for warmth in a cold cave, a snowed-in cabin, locked in a cell together, etc results in them kissing. Maybe Xenk is too repressed to do more, even though Doric's up for it. Maybe he'll agree to skin-to-skin contact, but only because tieflings have a naturally higher body temp. Or maybe Doric convinces him that some casual sex is the best way to keep warm, and they both have a great time.
A quest requires two of the group to go undercover as a couple - and it needs Doric and Xenk's unique skills in particular. Is this a magical night at a ball (even a masquerade ball), where the enchanting mood sets feelings simmering? Or maybe they're sent to infiltrate a cult, and they have to rely on their trust in the dangerous situation. Do they get picked for one of the cult's rituals - which turns out to be ritual public sex? Maybe they try to fake their way through it, even as the intimate touches stir up real desire. Maybe they just decide to go for it, and gently help each other through some tender dubcon.
While adventuring away from the others, they discover a magical grove that's slowly being corrupted. Both of them are eager to cleanse it, but then its guardians explain that the ritual magic would require the two of them to have sex.
One or both of them gets hit by sex pollen, and there's nobody else around to help. Maybe Doric is practical and sees no reason not to have some fun together. Maybe Xenk is conflicted, wanting to help - or needing help himself - but reluctant to open up to her. But in the end he's too kind, or too desperate, to actually refuse it... even if he's a virgin.
Omega Doric goes into heat and asks alpha Xenk to help her through it. Maybe he's a virgin and nervous about being so intimate - but he can't bear to see her suffering. Or maybe he doesn't trust her ability to consent, or neither of them is ready to lose their virginity, so Xenk just holds Doric close so she can inhale his alpha scent, offering gentle comfort till her heat subsides.

Edgin Darvis/Doric

While trying to recruit her, Edgin was definitely using all his charm (although not in a sexual way) but Doric seemed utterly immune to it. I loved the tender moment when Edgin was sitting on the rock on the beach: his little smile as she walked over, the way she gently patted his shoulder and he patted hers in return, and she smiled back. Maybe his charm would be more welcome now they have a genuine connection, or maybe she'd be the one to instigate it.

I love that Doric is so committed to doing good and looking after nature, but that she doesn't let the rules stand in her way. And she has a very sharp tongue, in contrast to Edgin's silver one. Edgin thinks of himself as a thief and a lawbreaker, and is maybe trying to pretend he doesn't enjoy doing good as much as he actually does. He uses humour and a charming mask to hide his pain, but Doric absolutely doesn't fall for it - even if she'll be soft when he finally lets himself be vulnerable. But is she prepared to be vulnerable in return? I'm happy for this to be either a romantic ship, or casual sex/FWB/Edgin gently looking after Doric in a dubcon scenario, especially if her tiefling status means she's still a virgin.

(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)

I'd love to see more soft moments like the one on the beach. Maybe Doric talks more about her family or about how people treat her as a tiefling, and Edgin patiently listens before reassuring her. Maybe Edgin has a nightmare about Zia while Doric's on watch in their camp, and she sits with him while he calms down. Just a gentle moment of vulnerability between them, where Edgin drops his mask - but maybe not his jokes.
A strange artifact accidentally creates a soulbond between them. Now they're stuck hearing each other's thoughts, feeling each other's feelings, and/or unable to move more than a few feet apart. Maybe they banter about the difficulties as they search for a cure... but the forced proximity and unexpected intimacy brings them together. Maybe the spell means they'll get really sick if they don't have a certain amount of skin-to-skin contact every day... or if they don't have sex every day.
Edgin gets injured, but luckily Doric knows of a herbal medicine that can help - and it grows nearby. Maybe the intimacy of treating him sparks a frisson between them, and she ends up giving him some sexual comfort too.

Huddling for warmth in a cold cave, a snowed-in cabin, locked in a cell together, etc turns into casual sex to keep warm.
Doric wants to lose her virginity to someone she trusts, so she asks charming, experienced Edgin to do the deed. Maybe he's initially reluctant and she has to convince him she means it. Maybe Edgin is so well-endowed that she needs a lot of foreplay and he has to be very gentle about the whole thing. But they have a great night together and Doric is glad of the experience.
One or both of them gets hit by sex pollen, maybe while they're trapped in a dungeon and there's nobody else around. Maybe Edgin tries to resist and Doric insists she doesn't have a problem with doing it - or maybe they'll die if they don't fuck, and they're gentle with each other as they rely on their friendship to get through it.
Omega Doric goes into heat while there's nobody else around and begs alpha Edgin to ease her suffering. Maybe he's worried that it's just the heat talking and refuses to do more than hold her close and give her his scent, resisting anything more throughout the entire thing. Or maybe she convinces him that knotting her is the most practical option and they have an intense night with no regrets after.

Edgin Darvis/Xenk Yendar

These two have such a great dynamic. I love their banter and how they spark with each other - Xenk and his literal mind bouncing off Edgin's usual wordplay, still prompting smiles in each other, even as they clash over Edgin's thievery and Xenk's paladin ways. That contrast somehow settles to a comfortable blend, with Edgin reluctant for Xenk to leave. And I love how touchyfeely they are - Edgin in general, and Xenk with all his (offers of) handholding... Pressing his hand to Edgin's on the Harper's seal, pulling him up after saving him, their earnest handshake as they prepare to part. So much touching! And so much banter! But they also challenge each other to grow, and I'd love to see how their relationship develops after the film, with a softer friendship blossoming into romance.

Despite his 20 minutes of screentime, Edgin's narrative arc is so bound up with Xenk. Edgin's been projecting this image of a cheerful, charming leader for so long, hiding his deep trauma over Zia with quips and songs. He's focused all of his pain into hating the Red Wizards, blaming Thayans for his loss - maybe because it's easier than blaming himself. But then he meets Xenk, a Thayan so noble and innocent that it shatters Edgin's foundation. And Edgin can't even console himself with the idea that anyone in his position would've been tempted by that gold - because again, Xenk is so pure and moral, and proves that people can be better. Even makes Edgin promise to be more than a common thief, reigniting his old Harper heroism. Xenk is the pivot point of Edgin's growth and healing.

Xenk's own angst is mostly implied, a subtext to the fascinating details we get. He's a paladin, a holy warrior, so strict in protecting others - but he's also a Thayan, a hated outsider, visibly marked by necromantic magic. I love the tension in him being both blessed and cursed. Does Xenk feel the need to be the perfect paladin to balance out the terrible opinions people have about Thayans? Once people have accepted his cursed nature, do they tend to place him on a pedestal, glorifying him as a legendary paladin instead? He glides away from the crowd's praise after saving that catbaby; his retort to Edgin's anti-Thayan sentiment is not to defend himself, but to speak of other Thayans, innocents turned into monsters. Does he think of himself as a monster? But Xenk is so kind and caring, risking himself to save Edgin - and so stern and serious, rigidly sticking to his moral framework. Does he feel bound by his duty, by his paladin vows - even to the point of repressing his own wants, needs and hopes? Does he feel he has to earn his own humanity, by so harshly rejecting his own partially undead nature, by being such a paragon of virtue? Does Xenk feel like he can't be less than perfect? Maybe his insistence that Edgin can be a better man is a reflection of Xenk's need to believe in his own goodness.

With all of those worries swirling around, these two could slip so deep into mutual pining. Maybe Xenk thinks he can't be with anyone because of his duty as a paladin, or because the Beckoning Death has left him cursed, partially undead, lacking part of his soul, etc. Maybe Edgin finds out Xenk is a virgin and assumes the guy isn't interested in sex at all. (I do headcanon Xenk as a virgin.) Or Edgin thinks Xenk's too noble and pure to want a criminal like him, or thinks Xenk wants someone more serious or more intellectual. Xenk thinking Edgin's too charming and sociable to want someone as awkward and unbending as him... I love the angsty possibilities of all this, the two of them keeping their feelings secret even as they're practically bursting with longing. And when combined with their touchyfeely natures - they must be torturing each other!

Established relationship and getting together both welcome. Edgin's lingering angst over Zia is fine. Or you could do some angst focusing on that mutual pining, or some physical hurt/comfort, or soft fluff, or fun tropes - maybe as part of a new adventure for them. If there's smut, happy for it to be vanilla or kinky, fully consensual or dubcon (sex pollen, fuck-or-die, bad guys made them do it, omegaverse heat, etc) I'm open to both autistic Xenk and/or ADHD Edgin, or neurotypical depictions. I mainly see Xenk as being sworn to justice, as a general concept, rather than a specific god - but feel free to pick one, if it suits the themes of your work. (Like, Ilmater is a great choice if Xenk is suffering, whether in whump or in sexy painplay.) And feel free to include any or all of the party!

Xenk has recurring nightmares about the Beckoning Death. Edgin comforts him after one, either because he was on watch in camp, because they were forced to share a bed, or because they're already sleeping together.
Oh no, they just touched this magical artifact and now they have a telepathic soulbond! Does Xenk start thinking exclusively in Thayan so Edgin can't hear his pining? Does Edgin have to keep singing a song in his head so he doesn't start thinking about the way Xenk's touching him? Does the bond force Edgin to share Xenk's nightmares, and discover the true depths of his trauma? Do they end up having mindblowing telepathic sex?
Xenk keeps finding more and more excuses to hold Edgin's hand, and Edgin is running out of reasons to refuse...
Hurt/comfort, where Xenk can't use his healing for whatever reason. Either one as the hurt party, with the other one looking after them, burning with worry, the pining only getting worse as they give them reassuring touches, or even hold them close...
Or their quest requires travelling by boat - and Xenk turns out to get really seasick. Charming Edgin insists on staying with Xenk as he (tries not to) vomit, rubbing his back, maybe trying to distract him from the nausea - but under Edgin's bluff cheer, Xenk's unexpected vulnerability stirs a real edge of tenderness.
A quest requires two of the group to go undercover as a couple - and it needs Xenk and Edgin's unique skills in particular. Is this a magical night at a ball (even a masquerade ball), where the enchanting mood sets feelings simmering? Or maybe they're sent to infiltrate a cult, and they have to rely on their trust in the dangerous situation. Do they get picked for one of the cult's rituals - which turns out to be ritual public sex? Maybe they try to fake their way through it, even as the intimate touches stir up real desire. Maybe they just decide to go for it, and gently help each other through some tender dubcon.
Maybe they confess their feelings - and then don't have a sex for a while, because Xenk's angst means he's not ready for it. Edgin's happy to wait, and there's lots of kissing and a growing emotional intimacy, before he finally deflowers a nervous but excited Xenk with some gentle and tender sex.
Or maybe they've both been longing so much, driven mad by all the torture of those little touches, that when they discover they're in love with each other they're both desperate to fuck.
Xenk has found a powerful artifact he can use against the Red Wizards. But he needs Edgin's help, because the only way he can attune to it/disable the spell guarding it is via sex magic. (Whether they're an established couple or they haven't gotten together yet.)
Maybe Xenk gets hit by sex pollen and Edgin has to take his virginity to save him. Maybe Edgin is the one affected, and Xenk offers because he's sworn to help others (and because it's an excuse to give in to his pining). Maybe they both get sex pollened, and they have a frantic fuck with accidental declarations of feelings - or they confess nothing during, and talk afterwards when they can think straight again.
If you wanted to do dom/sub, I'm fine whichever way you assign the roles. Maybe Edgin's a soft dom who just wants to encourage and praise his sub while he piles on the pleasure; sub Xenk could be kinking on dutifully obeying, or maybe he wants to escape the stresses of being a noble paladin and let Edgin take the reins. Maybe Xenk is a strict dom who wants to whip Edgin into line, or a soft dom who wants to draw out Edgin's inner goodness; maybe Edgin's a bit of a bratty sub, or maybe he's secretly desperate to please and lives for praise.
For omegaverse, I enjoy both alpha Edgin/omega Xenk and alpha Xenk/omega Edgin. Maybe Xenk's been suppressing his heats for a century and now, oh dear, he's going into heat and it's a big one, so Edgin volunteers to knot him. Maybe they're trapped somewhere and Xenk goes into heat and begs Edgin not to take advantage, and Edgin has to resist. Or omega Edgin goes into heat before confessing his feelings and alpha Xenk nobly resists his advances because he thinks it's just the heat talking. (But perhaps Edgin convinces him eventually!)

Edgin Darvis/Zia Darvis/Xenk Yendar

I really like the idea of Edgin getting to be happy with Zia but also with Xenk, and Zia and Xenk being happy together too. So... AU where she never dies? Maybe Edgin stays a Harper and ends up working with Xenk, and they get closer, resulting in Xenk being drawn into the established marriage? Or Edgin and Zia successfully flee the Red Wizards with baby Kira, and when they seek help Xenk is the one who swears to protect them?

Edgin seemed a lot softer before Zia's death - and maybe less prone to hiding his feelings - and Zia seemed very sweet and understanding, and I'd love to see what kind of dynamic they develop with kind but serious Xenk. Would love to see them being domestic in the cottage at Targos, all helping to raise Kira, or - as Edgin and Holga managed to take young Kira on the road - maybe all three of them could have glorious adventures together, making the world a better place?

Zia decides to take Kira and go with Edgin to the market that night. They see the Red Wizards riding to their cottage and make an escape - but the Red Wizards are still after them, so they have to take refuge with the Harpers... where a Thayan paladin promises to protect them.
Or maybe Edgin never stole the Red Wizards' treasure at all. He remains a Harper, and gets assigned to work with Xenk. And the more time they spend in the field, the closer they become. And Edgin keeps coming home to Zia with all these stories of amazing Xenk the paladin... and Zia is very amused and encouraging.
Maybe Edgin and Xenk are sent undercover together? Even as a couple? And they both pine guiltily, because Edgin is married, but what they're doing feels so real and so right... (Maybe the setup means Edgin can visit Zia some nights? Or write letters? Or maybe the whole mess of feelings only comes out when he returns home, and Zia has to sort them out?)
I will forever love hurt/comfort for getting together. Maybe Xenk is injured and Edgin has to take him home, resulting in Edgin and Zia nursing him back to health. Or Edgin is injured and Xenk takes him to the cottage, but stays so his healing magic can recharge - or Zia insists he stays, because Xenk is wounded too?
Accidental soulbond! Maybe between all three, maybe just between Edgin and Xenk, maybe it starts as Edgin and Xenk but they manage to add Zia... But due to the effect of some magical artifact, they can now hear each other's thoughts/feel each other's feelings/can't move too far from each other/all of the above.
I'd also love some established relationship domestic fluff, with them all living in the cottage at Targos, raising Kira together.
Or, as Edgin and Holga managed to take young Kira on the road, maybe all three of them could have glorious adventures together, making the world a better place?
Totally down with smut too! What's their first time as a three like? Do they find the mechanics of it difficult to arrange? Is there a lot of laughing as limbs get tangled? Maybe Xenk's a virgin and gets a bit overwhelmed, and Edgin and Zia have to be gentle with him. What's the sex like once they get used to it? Do they indulge in some double penetration? Or maybe one of the guys goes in the middle, both penetrating and penetrated? Do they have some kinky fun? Maybe one (or two) domming the other(s)? Three people means lots of possibilities!

Simon Aumar/Doric

I love how soft Simon gets around Doric and I'd love to see her showing a softer side to him in return. (I do love Doric's spikiness though.) And I love that over the course of the film, she was very interested every time Simon's competency was shown or discussed - she was always into him, she just had this one dealbreaker, and then he fixed it! (Well, maybe he didn't entirely fix it: I love Simon having more confidence, but it might be nice to see him struggle a little - with Doric encouraging him, now she's convinced of his capability.) Does Doric have a competency kink?

Both of them have angsty pasts: Doric as a tiefling rejected by her parents, who's visibly an outsider wherever she goes; Simon as a sorcerer trying to live up to his family's long legacy of wizardry. Plus, as a half-elf, wherever he was raised, he was probably too human for the elves and too elven for the humans. As they get to know each other better, it'd be great to see them open up to each other about these things.

Maybe their courting is awkward at first, possibly hampered by Simon's tendency to break things or fall over, but I absolutely believe they're a good match and would love to see a happy relationship grow between them.

I tend to imagine Simon is a virgin, due to all his awkwardness at romance, and considering how disliked tieflings are Doric might be one too. But maybe she has some experience, and confidently reassures a nervous Simon.

Soft domestic times, whether at home or on the road. Cooking together, going shopping, changing the bedclothes, just relaxing by the fire. These two need some happiness!
They're trapped during a snowstorm and Doric turns into an owlbear, snuggling up to keep Simon warm.
Or Simon injures himself, maybe twists his ankle so he can't walk, or gets injured in combat; Doric turns into an owlbear to carry him.
They both have family angst; maybe that comes to the fore when Simon runs into his wizard father, or has to work with a cousin - or asks Doric to attend a family reunion with him. I imagine he's not just a descendant of Elminster Aumar, but the sole sorcerer in a whole family of wizards. Does seeing the origins of Simon's lack of confidence help Doric understand (and support) him better? Does it help her open up about her own past more? Would love to see them bond over the experience and have some quiet, tender moments.
Doric wraps her tail around Simon's arm while they're walking along, or cuddling in bed, or having sex.
Going undercover as a married couple not only forces them to rely on each other to keep up their story and acquire the artifact/info/thing they came to get, but gets them thinking about the next stage in their relationship.
Simon's wild magic spectacularly misfires and now they've swapped bodies/developed a telepathic soulbond/can't be more than five feet from each other without causing pain. Doric had barely settled into their tentative relationship, and this unexpected intimacy makes her feel very vulnerable - but despite his awkwardness, Simon is still soft and kind with her.
Exploring and discovering each other's bodies and how different they are. Does Simon unsubtly start trying to steal Doric's tiefling warmth when it's cold? Does her tail communicate her feelings? Are her horns sensitive? They both have pointed ears - do the tips wiggle when they're embarrassed, or aroused, or orgasming?
They've been courting for a while, and now they're ready to lose their virginities together. Is it a sweet and tender discovery of intimate pleasure, maybe a little awkward but very much enjoyed? Or is it very enjoyable but also very awkward - maybe they struggle to find a good position, or get Simon's cock in, or maybe he comes really quickly and is a bit embarrassed about that... frantically licking her out until he's ready for a second round of penetration? Or maybe Simon is so nervous he can't get it up at all, and Doric has to soften her sharp tongue to reassure him? Maybe she calms him down enough for them to get going - or maybe they explore non-penetrative pleasure, or it becomes a night of cuddles and emotionally vulnerable conversation.
Doric pegs Simon. Maybe she suggests it and he's hesitant but ends up enjoying it, or he nervously requests it and she's happy to oblige.
If you wanted to do dom/sub, I'm fine whichever way you assign the roles. Maybe Doric takes the lead because she loves to give Simon the pleasure he feels awkward about asking for, or because she enjoys the power; sub Simon might feel safe with someone else in charge, or have a praise kink and love the encouragement when he obeys. Maybe Simon is an awkward, nervous dom who's worried he's not dominant enough (or that even a bit of dominance is too much) and Doric is enthusiastically encouraging him.
For omegaverse, I imagine Simon as an omega and Doric as either an alpha or some rare fourth designation. Maybe Simon's worried about the intimacy of sharing his heat and Doric is reassuring and practical. Maybe Simon goes into heat before they've had sex for the first time and Doric's concerned about taking his virginity like that. Maybe Doric goes into rut and Simon's nervous but excited about the way she comes onto him.

Simon Aumar/Edgin Darvis

I love how Edgin is absolutely convinced of Simon's potential badassery (he has a mental list of all the times Simon's magic worked!) and how he's determined to make Simon believe it too - and this, for some reason, involves touching Simon's face a lot. Simon is awkward and sulky in the face of this, even though he's perfectly willing to trust Edgin and follow his lead in other areas - maybe Simon is pining, and can't let himself believe that Edgin cares about him, or is worried about opening his heart? Depending on the situation, maybe Edgin feels too weird about the age difference, and doesn't want to take advantage of Simon... until something pushes them together.

I enjoy this as a romantic ship, but also as FWB/casual sex, or charming Edgin gently looking after nervous Simon in a dubcon scenario - especially if Simon is a virgin, which I tend to assume is true considering how awkward he is. Could be post-canon, or a missing scene any time from Simon first joining Edgin's crew of thieves up to Korinn's Keep.

(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)

Simon's frustrated by his lack of romantic success and thinks he'd find it easier if he had more experience, so he asks Edgin to help him practise flirting/practise kissing/take his virginity. Or Edgin stumbles on Simon reading an Instructional Manual, and giving him tips turns into some hands-on demonstration.
Edgin tries to wingman for Simon in a tavern, but the more he extols Simon's virtues the more it seems like he shouldn't be trying to fix Simon up with someone else at all...
Simon's wild magic backfires and now, whoops, they've swapped bodies. Or can only tell the truth. Or have developed a telepathic soulbond, and now Edgin can hear all of Simon's nervous worries... and sexy thoughts.
Their quest requires travelling by boat - and Simon turns out to get really seasick. Charming Edgin insists on staying with Simon as he (tries not to) vomit, rubbing his back, maybe trying to distract him from the nausea - but under Edgin's bluff cheer, there's a real edge of tenderness.
A heist goes pear-shaped and they end up squeezed into a closet together. A very small closet. Or the heist is about to go pear-shaped, and Edgin's quick-fire patter to keep the mark bamboozled somehow results in him pretending to be dating Simon. Or maybe grabbing him for a kiss to avoid the Bad Guys.
Or their quest requires two of the group to go undercover as a couple - and it needs Simon and Edgin's unique skills in particular. Is this a magical night at a ball (even a masquerade ball), where the enchanting mood sets feelings simmering? Or maybe they're sent to infiltrate a cult, and they have to rely on their trust in the dangerous situation. Do they get picked for one of the cult's rituals - which turns out to be ritual public sex? Maybe they try to fake their way through it, even as the intimate touches stir up real desire. Maybe they just decide to go for it, and Edgin gently helps Simon through some tender dubcon.
Huddling for warmth - whether in a cave, a snowy cabin, or in a cold inn room. Maybe it's a night of simmering feelings, mutual pining, and trying to hide their arousal... or maybe they just agree to some casual sex to keep warm.
They have to share a bed at an inn, and mutual horniness results in them masturbating next to each other. Or giving a "helping hand", or grinding on each other. Or just admitting that they're attracted to each other, resulting in some guilt-free anal. Maybe they become friends with benefits to relieve stress before their heists?
Simon gets hit by sex pollen and Edgin's the only one willing to help him. Or maybe they're trapped somewhere, Edgin gets hit by sex pollen and Simon's the only one who can help him.
When Edgin goes into Harper mode and starts giving everyone orders, Simon can't help feeling a strange thrill. Does Edgin notice, and gleefully charm Simon into submitting for him? Or maybe they're having sex for another reason, and Simon cautiously suggests they incorporate that...
Omega Simon unexpectedly goes into heat and alpha Edgin helps him through it, possibly reluctantly because of the age difference or because he thinks Simon deserves the soft romance his heart desires and not a caring but platonic fuck. Or maybe Edgin can see that even though Simon's into him, he's not ready to have sex, and so he just gently comforts Simon while resisting his scent.

Simon Aumar/Xenk Yendar

In the film, Simon mostly seems to get on Xenk's nerves (being sarcastic! destroying the bridge!) but he's not doing it on purpose and I really think if they spent more time together they could become good friends - and then fall in love. Despite his initial jealousy, Simon is eager for Xenk to stay at the end. Under his sarcasm, his awkwardness, and his occasional sulkiness, Simon is rather sweet and kinda adorable. And once you see past his stern manner and paladin morals, Xenk is kind and actually sorta awkward too.

I like the idea that they're both a bit dorky, deeply interested in niche subjects, in a way none of the others understand. But I think they could find some common ground. But maybe Simon worries that Xenk doesn't like him, or doesn't respect him? And Xenk isn't great at social interaction, so he might not realise Simon feels that way, or might not know how to explain that he actually does care. Potentially some angst there, but I'd also love some fluff - or some hurt/comfort, or smut. I can see them both as virgins (due to Simon's awkwardness and Xenk's duty/angst) and maybe worries about intimacy would result in mutual pining - or an intense experience during some dubcon, with Xenk gently trying to look after nervous Simon, even as Xenk himself is a bit overwhelmed.

(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)

Xenk tries to teach Simon some combat skills so he can defend himself if he runs out of spell slots/his wild magic misfires/he gets cuffed again. This involves a lot of Xenk physically correcting Simon's stance/hold, or maybe Simon has a clumsy moment and trips onto Xenk - who catches him in his strong arms... or maybe they end up lying on the floor.
They have to share a bed for Reasons. Xenk is nobly keeping as much distance as possible. But it's freezing, and Simon keeps making sad noises about being really cold...
Or maybe Xenk has a nightmare during the night, and Simon unexpectedly finds himself trying to comfort a man he thought could deal with anything.
Or maybe Simon gets injured. Does he collapse, and Xenk catches him? Maybe Xenk has to gently hold Simon while he heals his wounds. Or maybe Xenk can't heal Simon - because he's run out of spells/he's been cuffed - and all he can do is gently comfort Simon till he gets his magic back. Maybe they're even locked in a cell at the time, waiting to be rescued.
Or their quest requires travelling by boat - and one of them is really prone to seasickness. Does Xenk nobly sit with Simon as he (tries not to) vomit, gently rubbing his back, assuring him there's no shame in it? Or is awkward Simon the only one there to comfort vulnerable Xenk, resulting in some unexpected tenderness?
A strange artifact accidentally creates a soulbond between them. Now they're stuck hearing each other's thoughts, feeling each other's feelings, and/or unable to move more than a few feet apart. Maybe Simon's worried all his insecurities are about to be revealed to the perfect Xenk Yendar, only to discover the paladin has a few insecurities of his own. Maybe the forced proximity brings them together, despite Simon's sarcastic comments about it. Maybe the spell means they'll get really sick if they don't have a certain amount of skin-to-skin contact every day... or if they don't have sex every day.
A quest requires two of the group to go undercover as a couple - and it needs Simon and Xenk's unique skills in particular. Is this a magical night at a ball (even a masquerade ball), where the enchanting mood sets feelings simmering?

Maybe they just decide to go for it, and gently help each other through some tender dubcon.
The two of them get hit by sex pollen and the resulting fuck is amazing/awkward/both at once.
They're trapped alone together in a dungeon/cave/snowed in cabin when omega Simon goes into heat. Alpha Xenk nobly volunteers to ease his suffering. With his dick.
Or maybe alpha Xenk can tell that omega Simon is scared or not ready for sex, and instead nobly resists his incredible scent all night. Maybe while reassuring him and gently holding him close.

Henry Hart & Piper Hart

Across the seasons and as they grow, these two go through so many stages, and I'm fascinated by all of them. Initially, Piper is the screechy, volatile foil to goofy, earnest Henry - the tattletale that threatens his exciting new job, but also the anchor of his protective urges. As Henry settles into being a sidekick, he grows in confidence - more openly fond of her, more prone to flashes of mischief, even as he becomes more secretive and scarred; while Piper learns to control her outbursts, becoming more emotionally steady, settling into scathing wit and calmer demands - that playful annoyance blending to a fresh balance between them. Then as the stress and trauma really starts to weigh on Henry, his personal life suffering under the burdens of his superhero duties, Piper blooms to a new maturity - confident and polished as a popular influencer, rising as he struggles. And finally, when Piper becomes Henry's confidante at last, her forceful personality and frustrating persistence make her a practical and reliable ally - just as her brother faces his biggest tests. I have so many feelings about it all. Their sibling relationship feels so real to me - sometimes fighting, often bickering, usually weary of each other, but always backed by an unshakeable foundation of affection.

Henry's care for Piper is especially obvious and I find that adorable. For a cheeky teenage boy, he tells Piper he loves her surprisingly often - and surprisingly sincerely. Whenever Piper is threatened, Henry is immediately horrified and desperate to save her; he's a superhero sidekick who saves people every day, but Piper is the one he's most consistently (and most intensely) protective of. No matter how much she gets on his nerves, when Piper really needs him Henry will leap to her defence. And when she's sad, Henry is soft and tenderly reassuring, even when he still fears her temper - his gentle talk with her at the start of JAM Session is so cute. Despite their friction, Piper really brings out his sweet side. Carefully supporting her in Spoiler Alert! Coaching her basketball team! Guiding her when she's sleepwalking in Holey Moley! Breaking down in Danger Games after zapping her! I just love how much he loves her, even when she makes it hard, even when his life is hard.

Obviously their parents and the wider Hart family dynamic influences their sibling relationship. The plot demands that Kris and Jake be oblivious, because otherwise Henry couldn't hide his secret life, and that neglect is played for comedy - but that undercurrent has real impact on their children's personalities. Kris and Jake are inconsistent with both affection and discipline - sometimes draconian, sometimes passive, sometimes loving, sometimes distant. Not only do they take days to notice one of their kids has vanished, but they're often absent themselves, physically or emotionally - Kris is often away, clearly cheating on Jake. Sometimes they force their kids to act like the parents. And sometimes they rise above the sitcom jokery to undeniably horrible treatment: in Charlotte Gets Ghosted, we're told they shut Henry and Piper in one bedroom, gave them food then confiscated that food, leaving them locked in together overnight, just to throw a party. The show might dance around it, Kris and Jake may frequently be amusing, but they are not good parents. Is it any wonder that Piper is so unruly, so desperate for attention, so judgemental of Henry when she grew up in that atmosphere?

Piper is such an abrasive character but I genuinely love her, even when she's being a brat. She is just always so completely herself. But under that bravado, there's a heart-tugging vulnerability - she's aching for affection, for validation, so concerned with chasing superficial status and ephemeral fame that she rebuffs her brother's earnest tenderness. I have so many feelings about that scene where Henry shows Piper his Fred Lobster shirt, so eager to display his pride in her, but she can't see the gesture as anything but deeply uncool - yet still gleefully clasps his hand when her commercial comes on. There's such a great tension in Piper worshipping the cool hero Kid Danger while dismissing Henry as a tragic dork - and it's only when she learns his secret that she can really understand and appreciate the whole person her brother is. And I love the bond they develop after that - it's so good to see them just hanging out and drinking soda together in Remember the Crimes. But even before that, while Henry is mostly the one showing affection, Piper does have her moments - like offering to invite her friends so he can throw a cooler party. And whenever he comforts her and she opens up to him, that shows how deeply she trusts him. Who else in her life has earned that? And she might not know it, but he's also the person she'll eagerly go to bat for - jumping into the firing line to help Kid Danger in Spoiler Alert, Stuck in Two Holes, Diamonds are for Heather, The Great Cactus Con... and even moreso once she joins the team. Their relationship is tender, messy, supportive, challenging, ever changing, always strong - I love all of those aspects separately, and in combination, at every stage we see across the years.

This show often has its characters behave callously for comedic effect - being dismissive, ignoring hurts - and I'm fine with a little of that. But ultimately I want to feel that they care about each other, even if Piper is being bratty - or Henry is frustrated with her. Likewise I'm fine with comedic portrayals of their parents, ignoring the dark subtext there, but you're also welcome to depict Kris and Jake as neglectful and/or emotionally abusive. (Up to the level of Charlotte Gets Ghosted, or thereabouts; I'd prefer it not be unrelentingly dark though, as I think it's important that Kris and Jake can be affectionate at other times, even if the better periods are only implied.) But I DNW any mention of young Piper's crush on Kid Danger, even as a joke; please pretend that never happened. Platonic affection is great though - from casual "love you!"s, to meaningful ones, to holding hands, cheek kisses or forehead kisses, hugs or cuddling - there's some of that in canon, but you're welcome to push it further. Even Piper trying to soothe an injured Henry, or Henry carrying an injured Piper in his arms - you can go harder on the hurt than Nickelodeon could, but please no gore or anything really terrible happening, especially to young Piper. As well as hurt/comfort, I'd love some fluff, or angst with a happy ending, or canon-typical adventures. I just want more of Henry and Piper being siblings.

An episode-like adventure would be great for these two. The whole Rolling Thunder thing had to go badly, because the show needed an excuse to maintain the status quo, but Piper would clearly be an asset to the team if given a real chance - even if Henry's resistant to seeing his little sister put in a dangerous situation. Maybe Ray is on vacation, or gets captured, and Henry has to reluctantly take Piper into the field. Maybe Ray and Henry need Piper's specific help for some reason and bring her with them. Maybe Henry and Piper are around about town, or even on family vacation, when they get pulled into action - like being taken hostage as civilians - and have to wriggle their way out of things without any superhero help. I'd love to see Henry protecting Piper, Piper kicking some ass, both of them working in sync, supporting each other, or bantering about the whole thing.
Or you could do an adventure with younger Piper! Maybe she jumps in to help Kid Danger, like she has so often before, but this time fully gets swept up in the action - meaning Henry has to keep her safe without revealing quite why he cares so much. Maybe Piper gets kidnapped, as a deliberate target or randomly, and Henry breaks into the villain's lair to save her. Or maybe Henry's not even in uniform when something big goes down, and now he's not only having to work without Ray, not only having to hide his powers from the villain, but struggling to keep Piper in the dark too. But maybe Piper herself isn't the helpless victim the villain expected?
There must've been so many times Henry came home battered and bruised after a fistfight. Once she knows his secret, I'd love to see Piper looking after Henry - even if she's still her Pipery self and being kinda sharp with him. (Maybe she'd use the sarcasm as a tool to let them both ignore how soft the comfort is?) Whether she's making excuses to their parents, fetching painkillers, helping him up the stairs, tucking him into bed, or even applying pain-relief gel for him, it could be a sweet yet tense time for them. Or maybe Henry wakes Piper up by having a nightmare? Or the villain's gadget made him really nauseous, and he decided to try and sleep it off at home - only for the effect to worsen, and now he's slumped in the bathroom, trying to be quiet... but he's still loud enough to attract Piper's attention. Or maybe Piper is sick with a regular cold, and Henry's trying to fuss over her without letting her notice his worry? Maybe they both get captured during an adventure, and Henry comforts Piper through a cold night locked in a cell - while trying to hide the injury he sustained in the fight...
We don't often get pure fluff between these two, but there are definitely some glimpses of it when Piper's hanging out in the Man Cave. I'd love to see them chatting, snacking, playing board games, watching weird tv, teasing and nudging each other... All the things they get up to between emergency calls. And Piper learning the truth definitely brings some calm to their relationship, but you could set it before she even knows - they must've had some good days (or at least hours) where they enjoyed their time together. Maybe on Piper's birthday? Or making gingerbread at Christmas? A snowball fight that lets Piper channel her aggression in a fun way? Making flower crowns - and Henry happily being "forced" into wearing one? Visiting the sights and stalls at another of Swellview's weirdly specific local conventions? An indoor picnic while Henry's babysitting Piper - snacks spread across the coffee table, each sprawled on one half of the couch, watching some cheesy tv?
These two both clearly have a lot of angst bubbling underneath the surface. Maybe they'd do some delicious wallowing in it first, but I'd love to see Henry and Piper make an attempt to open up to each other - a lot of their shared pain comes from the way their parents treat them, and maybe it would help them to actually talk through it, to know that someone understands exactly what they've suffered. Of course, they both have a tendency to bury their real feelings, to avoid painful vulnerability, so it would probably be a hesitant, faltering, defensive journey towards honesty... especially when they're so used to fighting with each other. But it seems like a conversation they need to have, and maybe one they could have once Piper's grown up a bit, calmed down, and learned Henry's secret. Does it burst out of them in a tense moment of superhero peril? Or does one of them broach it in a quieter moment, maybe after something brings up the sadness? Or when their parents have locked them up together again? Maybe it would be Henry revealing his superhero trauma to Piper instead - he's certainly experienced a lot of it. Is it prompted by nearly dying on the blimp, or the lessons he learns in the movie, or just a desperate attempt to rebut Piper's assertion that being a superhero is so cool and fun?

Henry Hart/Ray Manchester

Whatever's going on here, these two are clearly more than hero and sidekick. They can't keep their hands off each other - touching shoulders, clutching wrists, hugging - and they're both blase about Henry climbing across Ray's body. They're completely on each other's wavelength, always quipping and egging each other on. They're a team, they're in their own world, separate from everyone else and special to each other. They literally say "I love you"! The shippy vibes start ridic and just continually escalate, it's unhinged. So many times I've paused to go "wait, did they really" - and yes, they really. None of this was an accident. By the Danger Force era, it might be played for laughs, but it's clearly not a joke. Henry and Ray is framed as a romance and we're meant to see it.

The first episode says Henry is completely average, but he's clearly so much more. He's charming, though often goofy. He's not a genius, but he's adaptable and quick on his feet. He's sweet and caring, though sometimes smug. And he's brave, even self-sacrificing, giving up his childhood to be Kid Danger - willing to give his life for Ray. Plus, like, you've seen grown up Henry, right? Holy shit, no wonder Ray drools all over himself.

Ray is weirdly likeable, though he's immature, arrogant, volatile and selfish - often oblivious or thoughtless, but rarely malicious. I'd prefer a "jerk with a heart of gold" interpretation; I don't want him taking advantage of Henry on purpose. When crunchtime comes, he will put others first - before Henry threw him off that blimp, Ray was insistent he'd be the martyr. And under that manchild veneer, I think there's complexity lurking. After being densitised at eight years old, Ray's father isolated him for superhero training. Does that mean he has difficulty relating to anyone outside of a hero-rescuee structure? Does being so removed mean he struggles with empathy? Maybe it explains why he's so afraid of ageing - he doesn't want to admit that the childhood he never had is over - and why his scale of what's appropriate for a teenage sidekick is so, well, inappropriate.

This show often has its characters behave callously for comedic effect - being dismissive, ignoring hurts - and I'm fine with a little of that. But ultimately I want to feel that they care about each other, so please have them be kind if the problem is serious. (This applies to Charlotte, Jasper, Schwoz and Piper too - and you're welcome to include any of them. Though it's fine to depict Henry's parents as neglectful and/or emotionally abusive. Please don't include Piper's crush on Kid Danger though.) My favourite villains are Drex, Dr Minyak, Jeff, and Kyle, but feel free to invent your own villain instead, if relevant. And you're welcome to have them menacing Henry - I love how much he gets held up by his throat - or to use the implication that Drex/Ray had a thing.

I don't want Henry and Ray getting together before Henry is 17 (though it's fine if Henry has feelings before that) and I don't want them having sex before Henry is 18 (though kissing is welcome). Ray reflexively calling Henry "kid" is fine, even during sex, as long as it's clear Henry is an adult - though if it is during sex, I'd expect Henry to disapprove. (I'm not looking for ageplay or agekink here.) But I'm fine with acknowledging there are unhealthy aspects to their relationship, and the age difference, though I don't want it to be damaging - I want to believe they can build something positive. And if that's unrealistic, well, it's a show about superheroes. Getting together and established relationship both welcome - as are fluff, smut, hurt/comfort, angsty mutual pining, and canon-typical adventures or tropey shenanigans. And feel free to set it during the original show, or in the Danger Force era, or even post-movie.

This show is already full of tropes - bodyswap! time travel! mind control! - so it's perfectly suited to other kinds of hijinks. Maybe Ray and Henry touch something in a supervillain's lair that accidentally soulbonds them. Or the villain's plan involves magically handcuffing them together. Or Henry and Ray need to go undercover again - this time as a couple. I love the way these two banter, their comfortable rapport, how they casually touch each other constantly - so some fluffy fun that throws them into another wacky scenario (officially shippy edition) and lets them chew on it would be great.
For something angstier, these two could easily slip into mutual pining. Despite Ray's engagement joke, their fierce bond clearly started as platonic - and broaching a change when they start getting butterflies might not be easy. Henry acts both jealous and affectionate, but Ray might not read that as flirting when it's so different to how Henry behaves with girls he likes. And Ray's declaration in Secret Beef that he thinks of Henry as a younger brother probably looms large in Henry's memory every time Ray calls him "kid", even if Henry no longer sees a child in the mirror. Plus, Ray doesn't seem big on self-reflection, so maybe he hasn't even realised what he's feeling - yeah, he knows he loves Henry, but that doesn't mean he's twigged that he loves Henry. So maybe poor Henry is suffering with the fear Ray will never see him that way - and oblivious Ray blunders past every desperate hint, even as they're practically dating anyway. What finally clues them in? Henry breaking down in tears, or being seriously injured, or a supervillain's truth serum...?
Their age difference might lead to some raised eyebrows, but I'd love to see Ray and Henry happily if hesitantly launching their relationship, maybe once Henry's in his twenties and is more visibly an established adult. Show me the first time they kiss in public, or hold hands as they stroll down the street, or go on a romantic date to a restaurant. Or the fifth time, or the fiftieth... Or simply cosying up at home - bantering through breakfast, bickering about chores, draping across each other on the couch. After all they've been through, these two deserve some comfy domesticity. Or some sweet moments, when they can't fully be open yet, even if they're ambiguously romantic enough for their villains to assign them as boyfriends - grabbing some fast food as a casual date, catching a film and holding hands in the dark of the movie theatre, giggly makeouts in the privacy of the Man Cave...
Ray might be indestructible, but Henry isn't. I'd love Ray bumbling through some comfort for hurt Henry, tender feelings sparking in a vulnerable situation. Maybe Henry is just achey and bruised from combat, and Ray applies some pain-relief gel like he did in The Rock Box Dump - but this time he's rubbing it into Henry's bare chest. Maybe it's a more serious injury, and Henry's whimpers set Ray's pulse skittering as he tries to protect his teenage sidekick. Maybe a mission exposes Henry to a toxin that causes intense nausea, and Ray sits with him till it wears off, providing both backrubs and tactless jokes as Henry tries not to vomit. Or maybe a villain invents some kind of pain pollen - and it even works on Ray, leaving Henry to awkwardly comfort his mentor instead.
With all the trauma of superhero life, it's no wonder Ray canonically has nightmares. Maybe after another one, he triple beeps Henry in the middle of the night - the way he apparently has before - and Henry has to calm Ray down, soothe him, help him get back to sleep, even though Henry is so much younger and exhausted himself. Or maybe it happens while they're on a stakeout, or captured and locked in a cell together overnight. Or while Henry is visiting the Man's Nest? Or once they're living together as a couple, sharing a bed, and Ray starts writhing and crying out next to Henry. Or Henry could be the one who has the nightmare! He's been put through plenty of trauma too!
Considering Henry was too busy to even attend school, and he hasn't dated anyone since he was fourteen, he's probably still a virgin... before Ray gets him naked, of course. Is Henry eager for his first time with the man he's trusted for years, or nervous about opening up in a way he never has before? Is Ray fond but teasing as he gently guides Henry through it, or trying to bluff and bluster his way through his own first same-sex experience? Maybe they've been dating for a while and it's a sweet and giggly special night, with Ray even sprinkling some rose petals for flower-lover Henry. Maybe it's a desperately passionate consummation right after confessing their feelings. Maybe they're not together yet, but one of Ray's boasts veers sideways into offering Henry sex lessons as well as superhero training - then finds the intimacy more emotionally intense than he expected.
A supervillain's plot or one of Schwoz's inventions or a wacky happenstance douses Ray and/or Henry in sex pollen, resulting in a need to fuck. Maybe Henry's crushing hard, so when Ray gets pollened he jumps at the opportunity, thinking it's his only chance to do this with him - but quickly becomes overwhelmed by the intimacy himself. Maybe Henry's the one affected, and Ray's torn between saving his barely-adult friend and not taking advantage, even as Henry's begging for him. Maybe it happens when Henry's older, during the Dystopia or Newtown years, and it's a frenzied fuck as they go at each other - but do they babble out their feelings in the heat of the moment, or awkwardly sidle their way to the truth in the aftermath?
Both these guys seem like they're really kinky and yet have absolutely no clue about kink at all. I can definitely see them bumbling into a situation, completely failing to negotiate anything, and powering through purely on the strength of sharing the same braincell. Henry pinning Ray to the wall with his forcefield in The Supies suggests bondage might be on the table. They've already got some complicated power dynamics going on, so maybe they'd slip into some dom/sub - whichever way around. Henry loved being chased by Kyle in Rumblr. Maybe some sparring would get them hot and bothered - or result in one accidentally having a coregasm. There's lots of possibilities!
I'd love to see some omegaverse for these two as well. Maybe a villain's weapon or a missed suppressant dose or simply reaching adulthood results in omega Henry going into heat, and who is he going to beg for help but his mentor Ray, the alpha he's loved for ages? But can Ray hold back his alpha instincts enough to be gentle with nervous virgin Henry? Or maybe Ray is the omega in heat, and Henry is the inexperienced alpha trying to soothe his needy boss, dealing with those desperate pleas and grasping hands and his own overwhelming feelings with no guidance but his own instincts. Or maybe alpha Henry's a little older, has had himself some experience in Dystopia, and takes charge when omega Ray unexpectedly plunges into a heat on a visit - but Henry's practical attitude isn't enough to stave off the old feelings that bubble up as they get intimate. Maybe Ray hadn't even realised he's an omega - because his superpower disguised it, or because he was stubbornly ignoring every clue - and trusting Henry to knot him for the first time is pretty overwhelming. (Also Ray would definitely be into breeding and pregnancy, whether he's the one impregnating or the one getting mpregged. Just saying.)

Kat/Rufus

Literal black cat/golden retriever couple! Well, okay, golden labrador. But these two are adorable and they have such soft, fun chemistry. I love how aloof, dismissive Kat slowly warms up to Rufus as she learns to set her prejudices aside and enjoy who he really is - and how she becomes a more sincere, dependable, affectionate figure herself, that harshness and scheming melting to reveal an intelligent and practical ally. Most of her feline traits blend with being a human teenager better than Rufus's canine ones - but I think it's cute when she lets the weirder ones shine through.

Rufus is so earnest and enthusiastic, and he's open about his interest in Kat right from the beginning. But his worries about driving her away cause him to mask his doggy urges - a pointless endeavour when Kat knows his secret all along. It's only when he lets his actual personality shine - his bravery, his loyalty, his goofy joy - that he wins her over for real. Not only is dropping the pretense healthier for both of them, but indulging their animal traits together is when they become most supportive and comfortable - they think they're opposites, but they actually fit together perfectly, understanding each other in a way neither the humans nor the other animals in their lives do. I love them playing in the yarn shop together: proof that they can connect and have genuine fun as a couple. Kat rubbing her cheek on Rufus's shoulder and purring is so cute, likewise Rufus's flustered moment near the end when Kat turns back into a girl in his arms. Even if their animal behaviours look objectively odd on human teenagers, I find the sincerity of it really appealing.

These movies both fully indulge the wackiness of the premise, but also allow the characters to have grounded and realistic feelings about the events, and I love that combo. But feel free to lean towards the silliness for some comedic fluff, or to focus on their emotions for something angsty or hurt/comfort. (I'm not a fan of embarrassment humour, but luckily the other kids love the doggy hijinks and Rufus seems to be immune to embarrassment anyway - so if you stick to that vibe, it should be fine.) No sexual content please, even implied, even if they're aged up and in human form. But closed-mouth kissing as humans is fine, and holding hands, cuddling, hair stroking, etc. Also fine with dog Rufus licking Kat's face and/or cat Kat grooming Rufus. Please don't have either one of them get stuck as an animal forever though, and no references to their animal lifespans either. But feel free to include Manny, Paige, Mr and Mrs Garcia, and so on, and background Manny/Paige is welcome as well.

What do their dates look like, now they don't need to keep up the human ruse with each other? Do they still do the fun things that human teens would do - catching a movie, grabbing some fast food, dancing at a teen club? And what minor chaos would their animal habits cause there? Or would they lean into activities more like the yarn shop - unconventional ones that suit their animal preferences? Epic games of tag, where they chase and flee, both getting to play at hunting? Kat knocking things off a ledge so Rufus can fetch them? Visiting the pet shop? (And are any of these double dates with Manny/Paige, either baffling their human friends, or tugging on their help to hide the secret from strangers?)
Or I'd love some fluff about the more casual moments of daily life. Do they hang out at Manny's house? Maybe Rufus and Kat both love cuddling - do they drape themselves together on the couch to watch tv? Do they enjoy burritoing in a blanket? Cats are liquid - does Kat squeeze herself into weird positions around Rufus? Does she like grooming him - either fixing his hair with her hands, or licking him in cat form? How do they navigate things with Manny's parents? And what are Rufus and Kat like at school - do they hold hands in the lunch room? Maybe they try to pass lovenotes in class - or maybe they can communicate in some animal or magical way nobody else can hear? Do Rufus and Kat (and Manny and Paige) do their homework together? And how good are they at any of the school subjects, considering they've not had a human education?
Or there's some delicious angst you could mine. Is their relationship frowned upon, even forbidden? Kat's mother might have agreed to let Rufus keep the amulet, even for Kat to train him, but that doesn't mean she'd be happy about her daughter actually dating a dog - or that the rest of the Clowder would approve. Seems like Kat's mother might be one of the Cat Elders, and they trust Kat with an amulet, despite her apparent youth - does Kat have a high status in cat society? Will she be expected to live up to that, both magically and socially? Maybe dallying with a dog would be tolerated short term, or while Kat is young - but what happens if she and Rufus start getting serious? Maybe she would angst about her duty to the Clowder; maybe Rufus would angst about being deemed good enough for her.
Some gentle hurt/comfort would be great too. Maybe Rufus gets a mild injury (grazed arm, twisted ankle, some bruises) while playing sports, or during another adventure. Will Rufus want Kat to stroke him, scritch him, snuggle him - even if they're in human form? Is that what Kat's feline instincts would lead her to do, or would she comfort him some other way - and would Rufus like it just as much? Or is that a complicated issue they need to navigate? Maybe Kat would be the injured one instead. Would Rufus's urgent doggy concern be overwhelming for a more reserved type like Kat? Would she pretend reluctance to keep up her cool demeanour, or be hesitantly pleased about such genuine affection? And do either of them actually know how to deal with human injuries? Is Kat googling things like icepacks or pain-relief gel on her phone?
I'd love another adventure for them as well, whether comedic like canon or with a slightly more serious level of threat. Feel free to bring Mr S back - but there must be lots of others who'd want to get their hands on those amulets, whether they're squirrels or humans or a villainous dog or cat. Maybe Manny and/or Paige get kidnapped, and it's up to Kat and Rufus to rescue them. Maybe Kat and Rufus themselves get captured, and have to figure out how to escape without any of Paige's clever ideas - or have to comfort each other while locked in a cell together. Maybe one of the Cat Elders is displeased about Rufus having an amulet, and initiates some political wrangling to get it back - forcing Kat and Rufus to navigate the situation delicately, not able to charge in claws blazing because the Elder isn't exactly a villain. Maybe there's no enemy to foil at all - maybe the amulet leads them to another kind of magical artifact, and they have to return it to somewhere its power will be safe - or stop it leaking magic into the locality, where it's causing chaotic shenanigans.
Not exactly a prompt in itself, but I would love some worldbuilding for this canon. I'm so curious about the amulets and how the magic works! Or what it's like - physically, emotionally, sensorially - to be a dog or a cat in human form! Or about those dragons?! Kat mentions there used to be dragons! There is so much here you could explore, as the main focus or little titbits sprinkled into another topic. (If you want more ideas, my Worldbuilding Ex letter might offer some inspiration.)
Part of the reason Kat's mother objected is that Rufus isn't trained to protect the amulet. Is the intention that Kat teaches him how? I'd love to see Kat training Rufus to use the amulet better, or to learn magic more generally. You could lean towards the humourous side, with Rufus frequently getting distracted, or Kat being a fussy feline teacher. Or go for a more serious tone, with Rufus doing his best to progress. Or some romantic tension, as they try to keep their minds on business, even as the magic demonstration requires them to hold hands. Or there's lots of space for worldbuilding in their training sessions - or in the results. Maybe Rufus unlocks some new kind of power in the amulet - one the cats have never seen before - and that sets off an adventure plot?

Manny Garcia & Rufus

I didn't expect to get so invested in their friendship but I have so many feelings about them. Rufus is so incredibly earnest, a real bundle of enthusiasm and joy as he soaks up all these newly possible experiences. The way his doggy traits translate to his human form make him an adorable oddball - it's so strange to see a teenage boy pleading for treats, nuzzling into scritches, lighting up when he sees a ball... but he's so intensely genuine about expressing his feelings that it all becomes sweet. He's also keen to pick up human ways, to keep the ruse going, but he's so irrepressibly canine that he's constantly doing the "wrong" thing - but his sincerity always makes it the right thing, at least with his favourite people. He's playful, affectionate, brave, and loyal - Rufus is a very good boy, even when he's not very good at being a boy.

Manny is the straight man to Rufus's weirdness, but he has some goofy humour of his own, a quieter kind of charisma, and he's brave and practical in the face of danger. And he has a touching vulnerability about his social position, with his insecurities leading him to hurtful words - but he's not too proud to admit his flaws, quickly apologising when he sees he was wrong. He's not a dazzling figure like Rufus, but Manny is sweet and likeable. And, let's be honest, pretty patient with Rufus's relentless energy.

These two clearly love just hanging out, playing together, spending time together. Under their unusual dog-owner dynamic, there's a strong emotional connection - one that surpasses species. Rufus is completely about Manny: he's found his best friend and he's all in on that. When he turns into a boy, Rufus uses that to gain more time with Manny, to support him in his social struggles. When he becomes the centre of attention, Rufus soaks it up - and sends it all back in Manny's direction. He's so loyal that the idea of disloyalty doesn't even exist for him. It's just so dog. But there is a sharp edge to Rufus's intense affection: he's so hungry for Manny's attention that it must be wearying sometimes. And Manny is in the impossible position of needing to maintain discipline with a pet that has opposable thumbs, no verbal filter, and puppy dog eyes that are somehow even bigger in human form - but despite the canine whirlwind of chaos, Manny is desperate not to lose any part of what they have, tearfully begging Rufus to be alright when he thinks the dart hit him.

I love how these movies both fully indulge the wackiness of the premise, but also allow the characters to have grounded and realistic feelings about the events. Feel free to lean towards the silliness for some comedic fluff, or to focus on their emotions for something angsty or hurt/comfort. (I'm not a fan of embarrassment humour, but luckily the other kids love the doggy hijinks and Rufus seems to be immune to embarrassment anyway - so if you stick to that vibe, it should be fine.) I'm also interested in the tension between the two ends of that spectrum: some doggy traits are objectively weird when Rufus is in boy form, and Manny could easily find those interactions both awkward and tenderly affectionate - like stroking Rufus's hair to comfort him even if he's a boy. I'd love to see Manny hesitantly indulging those things, embracing some of Rufus's lack of shame, letting them find meaningful connection in it. But please, no sexual content (even implied), nothing about Rufus's doggy lifespan, and don't have him be stuck as a dog forever. Feel to include Manny's parents though, and background Manny/Paige and Rufus/Kat are both welcome!

I'd love some fluffy slice of life stuff as Rufus tries out all these new human experiences. Maybe he's eager for his first pillow fight. Maybe he chomps his way through the foods he couldn't eat before: pizza, popsicles, curry, cake... Maybe Rufus wants to help Manny build a gingerbread house, but keeps trying to eat all the ingredients. Or what about places Rufus couldn't go before? Maybe there's a funfair in town, and Rufus is excited to stuff himself with cotton candy and ride all the rides - till he makes himself sick. Maybe Rufus is excited for the big new blockbuster film that's just come out - so Manny has to wrangle his dog into behaving properly in the movie theatre. Or maybe Manny teaches Rufus how to ride a bike, or how to swim with human limbs, or how to build a snowman. Do the Garcias throw a proper party for Rufus on his next birthday? How do they take him on vacation?
Or fluff about Rufus and his doggy traits, and the fun or hijinks they cause! Maybe a summer picnic goes awry when Rufus unwisely tries to befriend a nosy wasp. Maybe Rufus is meant to be helping Manny with yardwork - but can't resist the urge to keep diving into the big soft piles of autumn leaves. Maybe Manny wants to have a snowball fight with Rufus - but without his fur Rufus really feels the cold, so he eagerly waddles outside in three coats and a stack of hats. Maybe Rufus rolls all around in some mud, then protests at the idea of being hosed down, so Manny has to figure out how to get him up to the shower without smearing mud through the whole house. Or Rufus completely misunderstanding Valentine's Day, and trying to show his platonic love for everyone - but especially Manny? Or Rufus being excited that his new hands mean he can decorate the Christmas tree this year - even if he's overly flexible about what counts as a decoration, with a dog's attitude that more is more... And, of course, there's his inexplicable need to chew shoes, even in human form. Whether in daily life or on seasonal holidays, there are so many ways Rufus could drag Manny into adorable shenanigans.
Some gentle hurt/comfort would be great too. Maybe Rufus gets a mild injury (grazed arm, twisted ankle, some bruises) during another adventure, or while playing sports. Maybe he has a nightmare, and wriggles into Manny's bed. Maybe overeating or some magical mishap or a boat trip makes Rufus really nauseous. Does he still expect Manny to comfort him as he'd comfort a dog - stroking, scritching, snuggling? Is Manny weirded out by the idea of petting human Rufus's hair? Maybe Manny pushes through his reluctance and finds it's not so different, because Rufus is always Rufus. Or maybe Manny is the one who's scared or hurt - and Rufus tries to soothe him the way he's always been soothed himself! Does Manny unexpectedly find that comforting, even if he wouldn't want to admit it?
There's room for a bit of light angst as well. In the second movie, Rufus struggles more with the intricacies of human behaviour, and it seems like that'd only get harder as Manny grows older. Maybe a new scenario requires Rufus to do more than clown around, and he angsts about his ability to mask his doggy traits - at least while Manny (and Paige) are teaching him what to do, with Rufus messing up the practise roleplays, and then getting sad... But Manny cheers him up, they persevere, and Rufus scrapes through in the end?
Or there's that moment when Manny says Rufus came from the pound, and Rufus seems shocked/horrified, like he's just been told he's adopted. They backburner his reaction to concentrate on the adventure, and never come back to it onscreen, but I doubt even Rufus would forget completely. Is being a rescue dog a shameful thing in dog society? Does he angst about his place in the family now he knows? Did Rufus not realise that being a dog meant he couldn't be Manny's biological brother - did he think there's some kind of puppy stork? Why does Rufus not remember the pound - was he just a little puppy at the time? Maybe his mother was rescued and had her litter in the pound, so Rufus just has vague memories of napping and eating and playing with his siblings. Maybe Manny happened along just after Rufus arrived at the pound, so he wasn't there very long. But has the discovery shaken Rufus's sense of self? Does he need Manny's reassurance?
I'd love another adventure for them too, whether comedic like canon or with a slightly more serious level of threat. Feel free to bring Mr S back - but there must be lots of others who'd want to get their hands on those amulets, whether they're squirrels or humans or a villainous dog or cat. Maybe Paige and/or Kat get kidnapped, and it's up to Manny and Rufus to rescue them. Maybe Manny and Rufus themselves get captured, and have to figure out how to escape without any of Paige's clever ideas - or have to comfort each other while locked in a cell together. Maybe there's no villain to foil at all - maybe the amulet leads them to another kind of magical artifact, and they have to return it to somewhere its power will be safe - or stop it leaking magic into the locality, where it's causing chaotic shenanigans. Or Rufus unlocks some new kind of power in the amulet, and that sends them on a journey?
Not exactly a prompt in itself, but I would love some worldbuilding for this canon. I'm so curious about the amulets and how the magic works! Or what it's like - physically, emotionally, sensorially - to be a dog in human form! Or about those dragons?! Kat mentions there used to be dragons! There is so much here you could explore, as the main focus or little titbits sprinkled into another topic. (If you want more ideas, my Worldbuilding Ex letter might offer some inspiration.)
