forswornn | Rare Male Slash Exchange 2024

Thank you for creating something for me! My username is

forsworn. I requested fic or art in four fandoms, plus a load of crossovers (some of which involve fandoms besides those four). Treats are welcome!

I'm happy with ratings from G to Explicit for sexual content and G to T for violence. (Blood is okay, pain is great, but I don't want exposed organs or bones poking out or things like that.) I'd love anything from the softest fluff to the kinkiest smut, from feelsy hurt/comfort to angsty mutual pining. If none of my prompts inspire you, feel free to pick something from my lists of likes instead!

Art Likes:

I enjoy a wide variety of styles: fully rendered paintings, clean lineart, loose sketchy lines, Disney, American comics, anime, chibi, art nouveau, stained glass...
Also enjoy most mediums: digital, pencil, ink, markers, watercolours, gouache, charcoal...
And lots of colour palettes: realistic colours, bright colours, pastel colours, monochrome, monochrome plus a splash of colour, earthy tones...
All of which amounts to: show me your style! Create what you're inspired to create, in the style that feels natural to you.
A lot of my specific prompts below are narrative ones because that's how my brain works, but feel free to pick a single moment from any of those scenarios and illustrate that. (Unless you feel inclined to create a multi-panel comic or other sequential artwork, in which case I will definitely not complain. But am not expecting it!)
Or pick a visual trope from my likes lists! I'd love to see my requested ships hugging, laughing together, investigating a mystery, marvelling at an alien planet, exploring a dungeon, sitting around a campfire, cuddling under a starry sky, drinking in a tavern, wearing each other's clothes, protecting each other in battle, caring for an injury, holding hands, kissing on the cheek, on the forehead, on the mouth, having sex... (as appropriate)

Art DNWs:

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

Hurt/Comfort Likes:

Emotional hurt/comfort. Physical hurt/comfort. Whump. Mild hurt/comfort.
Nightmares. Flashbacks. Crying. Staying with character B as they fall asleep.
Impact bruises. Being manually choked. Twisted ankles.
Stab wounds. Arrow wounds. Pulling the arrow out. Nosebleeds as fight injury. Grazes and abrasions.

Magical torture, psychic torture, and other kinds of pain inflicted without harming the body.
Bedside vigils. Holding injured character close. Carrying or supporting someone who can't walk. Character A catching character B as they collapse (even if character A isn't strong enough to hold them up and just helps slow their descent to the floor). Helping injured character undress, remove armour, etc.
Struggling through sex pollen/an omegaverse heat/etc without having sex, only giving non-sexual comfort for the symptoms.
The awkward vulnerability of comfort requiring a new level of intimacy.
Stern/gruff characters making tiny gestures as a comforter and the comfortee understanding that significance. A comforter understanding when the comfortee only wants tiny gestures, and the comfortee being grateful for that understanding. People who are comfortable with each other giving and accepting large amounts of comfort.
Stoic hurt characters refusing to break down. Stoic hurt characters letting it all out.
I love both the hurt and comfort parts of the equation! Go heavy on one part and less on the other, or have an equal mix of both.

Smut Likes:

Positions: Missionary, riding and other face-to-face positions, for eye contact and/or lots of kissing. But spooning pairs well with gentle sex, and oral fingering's probably more easily done from behind.
Locations: In bed, in a chair, against a wall, on the floor... In the bedroom, in the living room, in an alley, in a forest, in a dungeon, on a ship, on the victorious battlefield... Basically anywhere? Yeah.
Acts: Anal sex, including het anal. Vaginal sex. Loss of virginity. First time bottoming. Pegging. Strap-ons. Deepthroating. Oral fingering. Kissing during sex. Breastplay (fondling, gently squeezing, kissing). Nippleplay (pinching, kissing, licking).
Moods: Gentle sex. Tender sex. Fluffy sex. Hurt/comfort sex. Sex with lots of feelings. Vulnerability and trust.
BDSM: Dom/sub. Bondage. Pinned down. Kneeling. Collaring. Orgasm delay/edging. BDSM AUs.
Dubcon: Sex pollen. Fuck or die. Sex caused by magic or to perform magic. Pining during dubcon. (Whether they admit their feelings during, after, or not at all.) Having to trust each other with the unexpected intimacy. Worrying about being so vulnerable but being kind to each other and coming out stronger on the other side.
Size kink and stretching: Big cocks. Painful penetration. Lots of foreplay/prep, slow and gentle penetration so it isn't painful. Large object insertions. Sounding.
Omegaverse: Alpha/Omega. Painfully big alpha dicks. Knotting. Sexy pheromones. Pheromones that communicate fear, or anger, or other emotions. Alpha pheromones that make the omega feel safe, or protected, or calm.
An undercover situation requires them to fuck while being watched, but they successfully fake it - except the kisses, the touches, the proximity, and the "is it okay if I..." questions whispered right in each other's ears were all very real. And some of those moans didn't sound fake. Either they're so wound up they fuck for real once they're no longer being watched, or the feelings keep simmering until they boil over later.

Jack Chambers/Frank Carlson

That scene where Frank calls Jack up on stage to give him a promotion and slip a ring on his finger, man. Symbolic much? And then Frank pushes him into dancing for everyone. I can definitely see Frank giving compliments, singling Jack out, telling him he's special, etc and using that to steer or even coerce him into sex. Jack probably has a bit of hero worship for Frank, so I think he'd be susceptible, regardless of his feelings for Alice.

You could do this as a missing scene or maybe an AU of some kind. Did something happen when Frank and Jack went outside after the dinner party? Or what about at Frank's house: Alice finds Jack in Frank's bedroom, trying on one of Frank's ties... Had they just been doing something? Or I'm sure there are many other opportunities for them to have had a secret liaison.

Due to the nature of the relationships in this canon, I'm fine with cheating and breakups here. I'm not looking for noncon, but consensual or dubcon is good: maybe Jack is fully on board with everything Frank's doing, or maybe Frank slowly manipulates him into it.

After Frank gives Jack the ring on stage, they have a private celebration away from prying eyes.
It's the 1950s for real and life in the town of Victory is perfect. But being near Frank gives Jack feelings he can't name and feels deeply guilty about - but desperately wants to act on.
A regency AU, where Jack is looking for a wife and Frank is a rake encouraging all his worst impulses. Maybe they're both members of the same gentlemen's club and a night of drinking and gambling ends with them doing inadvisable things in a dark corner - or with Jack getting into Frank's carriage, and them fucking in Frank's luxurious bed... or on the way there. Maybe Jack is courting Frank's ward Alice, and Frank wants Jack to prove how serious he is - by asking him to do a series of increasingly forbidden acts with Frank himself. Jack's no innocent, but Frank's determined to corrupt him utterly.
When Jack hears about the personal development courses offered by Victory Mindset, he quickly accepts their teachings - but it's the irresistible pull of the founder Frank that convinces him to go all in. Even as "all in" starts to involve some really questionable things. Because Frank says it's all for the best and Frank is always right. Isn't he?
Jack's an eager student at a college that teaches sex magic. He enjoys the work with his partner Alice - but when the headmaster Frank invites Jack for some private tutoring he doesn't even think about saying no... or stop to ask what kinds of spells they'll be casting.
When he meets the charismatic Frank, with his hypnotic eyes and voice, Jack is quickly enthralled. Frank slowly draws Jack into his world, telling him he could be something special - until Frank reveals his secret... he's a vampire, and he wants Jack to join him.
Maybe Frank tells Jack he knows a trick that sends women wild in bed - but the only way he can teach it is a private, hands-on lesson.
A glitch in Victory's software has a sex pollen-like effect. And these two just happen to be in close proximity when it hits them.
Frank's in charge, and that goes double for sex. Dom Frank pushes sub Jack in ways that leave him feeling unsettled - but really, really turned on.
Considering his misogyny, would omega Jack resent his dynamic? Maybe during his heats he turns to Frank instead of Alice, because being an omega to a male alpha is more palatable to him. Or maybe he just wants a good knotting from an alpha cock in addition to what he gets from her.

Dralas/Xenk Yendar

For this ship, I'm fine with conflicted feelings that are never acted upon, hatesex, dubcon, or Dralas nonconning Xenk. Breakups are okay, as they are clearly not together at the time of the movie.

Their dialogue makes it clear that these two have a history, but what kind of history is that? Were they always enemies? We don't really get a sense of Dralas's past or how they met but, in contrast to the compassion and encouragement Xenk shows everyone else, Dralas is the one person that Xenk calls "loathsome"... Is Xenk conflicted about treating Dralas so negatively, or does he feel it's justified? Dralas seems almost teasing during their conversation. Does he enjoy getting a rise out of the stoic paladin?

Unlike the Red Wizards, Dralas bears the same mark on his forehead that Xenk does. Was he a victim of the Beckoning Death, like those "honourable men" Xenk saw turned into monsters? Trained as an assassin, with no memory of his mortal life? Or did he willingly submit to undeath, choosing to serve Szass Tam? Maybe he had been an assassin for years - or maybe he was a child at the time of the Beckoning Death, who survived the spell but was ripped from his family anyway, and brainwashed as they trained him to serve in the future? Maybe he was even Xenk's childhood friend! (Whichever you choose, I'd prefer child Xenk not to have met an adult Dralas, or vice versa.)

If you go for a post-film setting, it's fine to mention that Dralas survived being eaten by Themberchaud and that it wasn't pleasant, but I don't want any further details!

They first met when Szass Tam sent Dralas to win Xenk's trust and then force undeath on him/capture him and take him back to Thay. But the more he got to know Xenk, the more complicated Dralas's loyalties became...
Or maybe they were childhood friends and Xenk once had hope of freeing him from the curse of undeath. Maybe Dralas used that to play on Xenk's sympathies, trying to convince him he didn't really want to be a villain. Did Xenk give up on Dralas because he realised only a Tablet of Reawakening could free him, or because he realised Dralas had totally converted to Szass Tam's side?
They're trapped in a dungeon or somewhere, and the only way for either of them to escape is to work together.
Dralas tries to tempt Xenk to the dark side. He'd never give in, of course, but maybe Dralas makes it painful enough that he wishes he could - maybe through torture, or through some kind of magic.
Or Xenk needs some information from Dralas, and he casts a Zone of Truth before interrogating him.
Another fight between them, but this time without weapons – resulting in a lot of grabbing, wrestling and straddling.
Dralas captures Xenk, puts him in a cell and tenderly menaces him.
In the middle of a fight, they accidentally disturb something that releases sex pollen. Now they have to fuck or both of them will die, permanently.
Dralas survived being eaten by Themberchaud and decides to get revenge by nonconning Xenk. Maybe the other assassins watch - or join in.

Edgin Darvis/Forge Fitzwilliam

I love that Forge genuinely cares about Edgin, wants good things for him, enjoys spending time with him... and yet will quite happily ruin Edgin's life if it enriches his own. And he doesn't see any contradiction in that! That's so deliciously complicated.

Meanwhile Edgin seems to have trusted Forge, not only enough to ask him to look after Kira, but to be surprised when Forge later reveals his betrayal at Korinn's Keep. All that time he had to think while spending two years in Revel's End, and Edgin never considered that the con man could have been a traitor? Is Forge that good? Is Edgin actually a bit naive? Or has Edgin always been suspicious of Forge - but thought that his own criminal talents were enough that he would spot any betrayal before it happened? And, as he didn't see it, obviously Forge hadn't betrayed him...

I'd love to see these two being flirty and charming together, whether during one of their schemes or while relaxing in a tavern. Feel free to have Forge manipulating Edgin, or Edgin not being sure if he's being manipulated or not. I'm happy with it being either a fun, angst-free ship before the betrayal, or unsettling yet hot. I usually assume Forge tops, but maybe he likes bottoming - or maybe the situation requires it.

(And, in light of that betrayal, I'm fine with them breaking up whatever arrangement they have.)

One night at an inn, Edgin (or both of them) gets really drunk and they end up making out. Maybe they go to bed together, or maybe Edgin halts proceedings because he feels too guilty about Zia.
They have some kind of friends-with-benefits situation. Maybe just to blow off some steam with someone convenient. Maybe Edgin's deeply missing Zia and needs to feel something else for a while. Maybe they genuinely like each other but they're too emotionally constipated to do more than fuck.
Edgin has a sexy dream about Forge, maybe while he's stuck in Revel's End – whether or not he'd already noticed, or acted on, an attraction to the guy.
They have to fake a relationship as part of some con. But they're both way too good at pretending, and the situation means their displays of affection have to keep escalating...
They get bodyswapped. Maybe sex is the only way they can change back, or maybe they're both curious what it's like to fuck themselves.
Forge is an omega and is really annoyed about it. The fact that Edgin's an alpha and gently helps him through his heats only makes him more annoyed.
Or omega Edgin goes into heat and alpha Forge is happy to get laid. Whether Forge is considerate or is rougher than Edgin would like is up to you. Maybe he dubcons Edgin into accepting his knot.
Edgin's secretly into consensual non-consent and Forge is the only person he's met who doesn't feel bad about the idea of fucking him while he begs him to stop.

Edgin Darvis/Xenk Yendar

I have so many feelings about these two. I love their banter and how they spark off each other, how Edgin sees Xenk as an enemy but then grows to respect him and doesn't want him to leave, how Xenk is frustrated with Edgin's criminal tendencies but fully believes in his goodness and is determined to draw it out... Making Edgin swear on the Harper's seal, then tenderly touching his hand? In fact, all of the hand-holding, and the offers of hand-holding. I'd love to see how their relationship develops after the film, with a softer friendship blossoming into romance. (And more touching. Lots of touching. And banter.)

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

I'd love anything from an emotional get together to established relationship PWP. From angst full of pining or about the scars they both have, to gentle fluff with bantering or cuddles or domesticity, to deliciously indulgent tropeyness, there are so many different ways you could take this. 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)

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...
Xenk tangling his fingers in Edgin's hair, while they kiss or have sex.
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!)

Simon Aumar/Edgin Darvis

I mostly imagine this happening pre-Korinn's Keep, in an "older man showing a younger one the ropes" kind of way, but if you want to sell me on a more serious, romantic relationship or set it after the movie I am totally down with that. I'd love to see something casual, friends-with-benefits, or dubcon where they're both okay with it afterwards, and it's fine for them to break up that arrangement before the movie. (If you do set it post-movie, please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you just ignore that ship or give them an open relationship.)

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. Would Edgin's charm and confidence carry over to the bedroom, or would he be earnest and vulnerable? Would Simon be anxious about his performance, or more willing to believe Edgin's reassurances? Depending on the situation, maybe Edgin feels too weird about the age difference, and isn't prepared to do more than kiss... until something pushes them into it.

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 has a sex dream about Edgin and it's really hot but he's not sure what to do afterwards.
With the excitement and adrenaline after surviving a battle/successfully completing a heist, they share a kiss - or more.
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.
One night, maybe after a few drinks, Edgin drops his cheerful mask and starts opening up to Simon.
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.
Huddling for warmth - whether in a cave, a snowy cabin, or in a cold inn room.
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.
Simon gets hit by sex pollen and Edgin's the only one prepared 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.
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 more. Despite his initial jealousy, Simon is eager for Xenk to stay at the end. 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.

I imagine this as a hesitant relationship ("let's see where this goes"), maybe something that happens due to outside circumstances (e.g. accidental soulbond), or perhaps a one-time deal during a dubcon scenario that they end up enjoying but don't intend to repeat. Would love to see them being soft towards each other, showing some tenderness after they develop a friendship and learn how to relate to each other.

I tend to imagine both of them as virgins (partly because of how I interpret their personalities, partly because virginity loss is just hot to me) but I would also be interested in a confident, experienced Xenk looking after Simon, especially in a sex pollen or omegaverse scenario.

(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you just ignore that ship or give them an open relationship.)

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.
Oops, Simon was trying to attune to an artifact but it went wrong - now the magic has attached itself to him and Xenk, and they can't be more than a few feet from each other or it causes them pain.
Or it creates a telepathic bond between them, and now all of Simon's insecurities are revealed to the perfect Xenk Yendar... who turns out to have a few insecurities of his own.
Xenk stumbles on Simon reading an Instructional Sex Manual... and asks if he can borrow it. Or maybe a book with some very interesting illustrations falls out of Simon's bag and Xenk can't stop thinking about them.
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.

James T. Kirk/Christopher Pike

I love that Pike was the first one to believe in Kirk - and the one who got Kirk to believe in himself. He finds this young guy losing a bar fight and tells him he can do more, be better, live up to not only his potential but his father's legacy. And Kirk hears that challenge and says no, I'll do even better than that.

But there's a tension between them: Pike encourages Kirk's out-of-the-box thinking and urge for heroics, but also expects him to follow the rules (or at least know which rules to break and when). Kirk wants that approval, wants to excel, but he's used to rebellion and reckless behaviour and is willing to risk more than other people are comfortable with. There's this push and pull where they're trying to find where the line should fall, and maybe that could play into how they are as a couple: not quite sure if their relationship is appropriate or it's going too far, if it's going to make Kirk a better man or screw him up more.

As a captain, Pike seems kind and steady but also willing to make unconventional choices, and he gives Kirk a chance to speak even when he's just stowed away on his ship. Kirk respects him and wants his respect in return but also chafes against the hierarchy of Starfleet. I'd love to see their relationship blossom into more, with Pike being encouraging but maybe also conflicted, and Kirk finding a sense of safety even as he's unsettled by commitment. Or maybe they have to rely on their platonic relationship to get them through a sexual encounter caused by sex pollen or alien demands or an omegaverse heat.

Not looking for daddy kink here but Kirk's daddy issues are welcome. He obviously has some trauma with regards to his father (and presumably his abusive stepfather) and that's part of why he is the way he is. But with everything that happens in space, they probably both have some trauma due to the terrible things they've seen, maybe even PTSD, and that could play into some hurt/comfort.

If you set this during or after Into Darkness please go AU and have Pike live! (No preference for whether you call them Jim/Christopher or Kirk/Pike, use what you prefer.)

An AU where Kirk becomes Pike's first officer, either as canon divergence partway through Into Darkness or for some other reason. I liked the brief bits we saw of them working together in the first film, with Pike listening to Kirk's warning and then taking him off in the shuttle, and Kirk later rescuing Pike. I'd love to see them get to spend more time travelling the universe as direct leader and subordinate, and how their relationship could develop - first professionally, and then romantically. Is there mutual pining, with Pike feeling guilty about the age difference and the potential abuse of power, and Kirk worrying that Pike will never see him that way? Or do they just naturally slide into it? This could be a good opportunity for some hurt/comfort, dramatic action where they protect each other, and/or them showing their respect for each other's intellectual capabilities as they work together on a plan or a diplomatic mission.
Or an AU where Into Darkness never happens and Pike's still around when Kirk is an older, wiser, struggling-with-ennui captain. Does Kirk go to Pike for advice? Do they begin to feel more like equals as Kirk rises up the ranks? Maybe Pike stops thinking of Kirk as too young and starts thinking of himself as too old, and Kirk has to show that his respect for him has only grown. Maybe another meeting in a bar results in a mutual agreement to spend one night together. Maybe a new danger sends Admiral Pike back into space with Kirk, and one of them being injured or having a close call with death results in an admission of feelings?
Kirk somehow time travels back and meets a Pike that's his own age - or maybe a bit younger. They have to work together to prevent some alien plot and/or get Kirk back to his own time, and feelings develop between them. Does Kirk have to hide who he really is, and listen to an oblivious Pike talking about his dissertation? Or does he explain, and then have to deal with everything young Pike projects onto him? It's not clear exactly how old Pike is, so maybe the timeline means that Kirk actually arrives before USS Kelvin is destroyed - and maybe while he's in the past he ropes Pike into preventing it from happening?
Due to sex pollen/omega Kirk going into heat/being captured by aliens who demand they perform some kind of sex ritual, Pike and Kirk have to fuck. Maybe Pike tries to be kind and gentle and protect Kirk through the process, but maybe he also feels guilty about finding pleasure in it. Maybe Kirk thinks he'll be fine because he's slept around so much, but maybe the experience is unsettlingly intimate. Afterwards, maybe they go back to a professional relationship, or maybe having sex stirs up some unexpected feelings and they become a couple - or mutually pine for a romantic relationship.
BDSM AU, either where everyone is innately a dom or sub, or where Starfleet is a D/s hierarchy. Pike takes Kirk on as a sub, at the academy or while serving together on a ship, as part of guiding this rebellious young man towards being a good officer in his own right. Maybe Kirk chafes against the rules of a BDSM world as much as the rules of Starfleet, but secretly longs to be made to submit and enjoys the physical aspects of their arrangement. Maybe Pike tries to stay professional and detached, but can't help becoming emotionally involved - and feeling guilty about it.

James T. Kirk/Montgomery "Scotty" Scott

I love that Scotty is almost immediately loyal to Kirk, and that Kirk absolutely relies on him to get things done - even when Scotty's already resigned. And Scotty might complain, but he'll still rush to help him. I love how Scotty swings between almost innocent cheerfulness that turns to grumpiness when he feels unappreciated, and the humorous possibilities of that with his charming, flirty, almost reckless captain. Kirk's a good leader, but he's got trauma lurking beneath the surface, and I think Scotty would be kind with that. And they're both brilliant in their own ways.

Scotty loyally following Kirk into a new perilous situation, or performing some arduous task for him, and Kirk showing his appreciation. (Or "appreciation"...)
Kirk fondly complimenting a grumpy Scotty who's feeling ignored - whether they're already a couple, or Kirk secretly has feelings for him.
While stuck on an alien planet, they have to huddle for warmth. Maybe a tension's already been developing between them, and this pushes them over the edge - or maybe the forced proximity itself stirs up new feelings. Especially if they have to cuddle naked.
Scotty gets drunk and starts complimenting Kirk again... a lot. So much that Kirk starts getting suspicious.
They have to share a bed for Reasons, and Kirk has a nightmare. Scotty gently comforts him.
Or one of them gets injured while they're stranded, away from the Enterprise and her doctors, and the other one looks after them, maybe holding them close. Or maybe Kirk is tortured by aliens, and Scotty can only watch - and try to comfort him afterwards?
They're trapped together, on an alien planet or locked in a cell, when one or both of them gets doused with sex pollen. Maybe Scotty's the pollened one, and he's grumpy but apologetic, and Kirk is kind and casual about offering to help. Or maybe Kirk's the one affected, and he doesn't want to ask this of his subordinate - but Scotty insists on it. Or they're both pollened, and they can't keep their hands off each other - and don't regret it afterwards.
Would love some dom/sub for them, whether that echoes their captain/officer roles, or whether they reverse that. Maybe Scotty's eager to take charge and Kirk is happy to give up his burdens for a bit, or maybe Kirk channels his protective instinct into giving a needy Scotty exactly what he desires.
They're trapped together when one of them unexpectedly goes into heat, and the other one offers to help. Maybe alpha Kirk carefully looks after a nervous Scotty, or maybe alpha Scotty nervously tries to make it good for desperate omega Kirk.

Pavel Chekov/James T. Kirk

Chekov is so fucking adorable. I love his earnest enthusiasm, his innocence, and his extreme competency despite his age - and how that fits with Kirk, who's older, more traumatised, and chafes against the rules, but strives to protect his crew. They work so well together, and I really enjoyed how much of Beyond was just the two of them out in the wilds, with a slightly more mature Chekov showing he can handle himself in the field.

Would love to see them as a couple, with Kirk's captainly urges to keep people safe translating into him being soft and tender. Does Chekov's enthusiasm carry over into an excitement to share new experiences, from dates in interesting places, to exploring new sexual possibilities with Kirk? Does Kirk initially try to hide his trauma from his younger partner? Or do they spend ages mutually pining, with both thinking the age gap means the other would never be interested? What finally gets them to confess - a bad injury, dubcon sex, or simply an inability to hold it in any more?

If they're having sex due to a dubcon scenario (e.g. sex pollen, omegaverse heat) you can set it any time after Chekov turns 18, but if they're in a romantic relationship please set it during or after Beyond, i.e. when Chekov is 22 or older.

(No preference for whether you call them Jim/Pavel or Kirk/Chekov, use what you prefer.)

Soft kisses stolen in quiet moments, away from the eyes of the crew.
An away mission goes wrong and Chekov is injured, but they can't contact the ship. Kirk has to look after him until they can get him to safety, and the vulnerable moments stir up feelings for them both.
Or Kirk is the one injured and Chekov has to talk him down when he tries to power through. Or maybe there's no option but to carry on, so Chekov gently worries and does what he can - until Kirk collapses.
They get captured by baddies and Chekov can only watch as Kirk is tortured, and then gently comforts him once it's over. But maybe Kirk is trying to ignore his own pain and make sure Chekov isn't traumatised by the experience.
On a diplomatic mission, the aliens somehow only have one bed for the two of them to share. They can totally be professional about this... Except the planet also gets really cold at night.
Or the bed is fine and they get great sleep - until Kirk has a nightmare.
Is Chekov a virgin? He was such a young cadet that his fellow students probably thought of him as a kid, and that's hard to shake off even now he's an adult because he's still the youngest member of the crew. Maybe Kirk is his first real relationship... and maybe he's Kirk's first real relationship too, as the guy seems to aim for casual. Would love to see Kirk putting that sexual experience to good use when he tenderly takes Chekov's virginity - and is maybe a bit overwhelmed himself at the difference feelings make.
They're stuck on a planet together with no way to beam off, and they get exposed to sex pollen/dragged into ritual sex to appease the aliens/trapped by some forgotten tech that won't let them go until they fuck. Maybe Chekov is nervous or maybe he's trying to be professional about it, and Kirk is gentle as he guides him through it.
Or they get exposed to something that means omega Chekov's suppressants stop working, and now he's going into heat. Do Starfleet regulations allow Chekov to request help from alpha Kirk? Or maybe they frown on it - but when Chekov asks him, Kirk's not going to let him suffer alone. (Or maybe Kirk is the omega, and Chekov is the inexperienced alpha worried he's going to knot him by mistake.)

Franklin "FDR" Foster/Tuck Hansen

I love these two and the dynamic they have: working smoothly together, protecting each other in danger, happily declaring their love for each other, bantering, hanging out. They're deeply competitive but deeply loyal, though there's also a fragility to their friendship. They're such different people - smooth, flirty FDR who hides his angsty past, and earnest, romantic Tuck who's longing for love but doesn't know how to find it - but they have such an easy rapport and genuinely like each other. (Except when they don't.)

They also do a lot of terrible things - for their jobs, but also socially - and I'm fine with that being acknowledged, in a "they're the same kind of terrible, and therefore perfect for each other" sort of way. But feel free to ignore that thread,

More of them in an action situation: protecting each other, dodging bullets, parrying strikes, bantering away. Does Tuck ever remember to bring spare ammo? Does one of them knock the other out the way of danger, and they end up lying on top of each other?
I'd love some more of them hanging out, maybe watching a movie, playing video games, or drinking together. But this time there's a mood in the air, and something ends up happening.
Visiting Nana's again! Another family gathering (to which Tuck is, of course, invited) where their feelings for each other simmer until they end up confessing? Or maybe the first time FDR introduces Tuck as his boyfriend?
One of them gets injured, and the other one looks after them. Maybe holding them close, keeping them calm until help arrives - or helping them to walk, so they can get to safety?
Or they're sharing a bed for Reasons, and one of them has a nightmare about something they barely escaped - and the other one comforts them.
Undercover as a couple! They have to pretend to be together, and they think it'll be fine because they're already so comfortable with each other - but kissing feels far more natural than they expect, and they're not sure what to do about that. (Maybe they end up in a situation where they're expected to fuck, and they either try and fake it - or just decide to roll with it, because why not?)
What happened in Bangladesh that resulted in Tuck seeing FDR's cock? Was it hard at the time? And, most importantly, did Tuck touch it?
They both like Sade. They both know it turns FDR into Captain Horny Pants. You see where this is going.
While on a mission, they get dosed with sex pollen - either accidentally, or as a deliberate ploy by the baddies - and now they need to fuck. Have they been pining for ages, and this results in them confessing (but maybe not until afterwards), or does the sex itself stir up unexpected feelings - which they can't ignore?
Or the baddies insist they fuck or die, and they're both comfortable with fucking - but actually doing it, especially while in danger, turns out to be more vulnerable and intimate than they anticipated.
Maybe they have a friends-with-benefits agreement, so they can blow off steam, relax before a tense mission, while away the time when undercover... or just because sex is fun. But maybe feelings develop, and neither wants to be the one who "ruins" it.
Normally in omegaverse I prefer alpha/omega, but I think alpha/alpha would really work for these two - competing with each other, not wanting to back down, scents battling in the air, wrestling to see who tops. They're not built to take a knot, but maybe they'd want to prove they're tough enough to handle it.
But I would also be interested in alpha/omega! No preference for which is which. Maybe one of them unexpectedly goes into heat, maybe while they're undercover - and, well, what is a best friend going to do but help his buddy out? But maybe knotting is more intimate than they expect.

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

Charming, flirty leaders with traumatic pasts! I like to think they'd immediately develop a rapport, but it might take them a while to open up to each other. Edgin is older but not wiser, and prone to taking risks that don't pay off - whereas Kirk seems reckless but his gambles always come through. Kirk tends to hide how clever he is, and Edgin's trying to ignore everything he learned as a Harper. I think they'd bounce off each other in really interesting ways.

Some spell goes wrong, or Edgin touches the wrong magical artifact, and he finds himself on the USS Enterprise - whose captain looks suspiciously like him. Maybe Kirk (or Spock, or Bones) is worried that Edgin's been created by hostile aliens and he has to win them over before they'll help to send him home. Or maybe his appearance is conveniently timed for dealing with some hostile aliens, when they mistake Edgin for Kirk - or he deliberately tricks them, maybe at Kirk's suggestion.
Maybe the Enterprise discovers the planet Toril, and beams down to investigate incognito - and then, as usual, something goes wrong. Maybe Kirk gets into trouble, and Edgin is the one who saves him? Or Kirk stumbles on Edgin in a sticky situation, and helps him out of it?
Or maybe nothing goes wrong, and they meet in a tavern and hit it off? Maybe they share a few drinks - or maybe Kirk sees Edgin performing?
Maybe they're sharing a bed for Reasons, and Edgin has a nightmare about Zia - and Kirk comforts him and calms him down. Maybe Kirk opens up about how he was born too.
They're both handsome charmers, and Kirk in particular is a flirt. How long would it take them to fall into bed together? Not long, I'm guessing.

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

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

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

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

Jack Frost/Xenk Yendar
Rise of the Guardians (2012)/Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

Supernaturally long-lived guys with powers that separate them from others and maybe even feel like a curse! Would love to see what happens if they meet: maybe Xenk would be kind and encouraging, guiding lonely Jack, even though Xenk is actually younger. Or maybe a more cheerful post-movie Jack would bring some light into Xenk's life?

Maybe this would be a chaste romance that results in some cuddling or kissing. I headcanon Xenk as being quite repressed, and therefore a virgin, and considering how young Jack was when he died - and then almost nobody being able to see him - he's probably a virgin too. So maybe they'd be hesitant to have sex. But maybe they end up sharing such a deep understanding that they feel comfortable doing that together?

Maybe a new plot by Pitch sends Jack to another world, where he meets a kind, stoic paladin who insists on helping send him home... and possibly helps to defeat Pitch too.
Or Jack's ice powers start growing, and he discovers he can create bridges or portals to other worlds? And while exploring, he bumps into Xenk. Maybe they meet in a tavern or somewhere else relaxed, and are drawn to each other, and end up bonding over their lives.
Or maybe Jack arrives in the middle of a dangerous situation, and helps Xenk to overcome it - or maybe Jack gets into trouble, and Xenk saves him.
Touch-starvation is such a good trope for both of these guys. Maybe they could hesitantly help each other with that - with gentle touches, holding hands, or some cuddles that are almost overwhelming.

Jack Ryan/Franklin "FDR" Foster
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014)/This Means War (2012)

CIA agents with the same face! Maybe they're brought together because of that, with one needing to impersonate the other undercover? Or maybe they just happen to meet through work, and the coincidence of looking alike is so weird that they feel the urge to get to know each other. But I'd love to see serious, intellectual Jack hitting it off with charming, flirty FDR.

(Prefer this to happen in an AU where neither of their het romances ever happened, but you don't need to mention Cathy or Lauren at all. Happy for Tuck to appear though - or join in!)

One of them's been captured, and the other one is sent in to get them out - and they develop a bond in the intense situation. Maybe the adrenaline results in a frantic "we lived!" fuck?
They get assigned to work on a case together, and are initially weirded out by the similarities. But the more they get to know each other, the more they feel pulled towards each other.
Maybe FDR instigates some kind of rivalry, to see whether they're both equally skilled at Specific Thing or if one of them is better. Tuck teasing FDR as commentary (or in an attempt to put him off) is very welcome.
They're stuck in a dangerous situation together, undercover or trapped and hiding from baddies, but they need to catch a bit of sleep - and one of them (Jack?) ends up having a nightmare about the trauma they've seen, and the other attempts to comfort them.
Or one of them gets injured, and the other has to help get them to safety, or just look after them until extraction arrives - holding them close, keeping the calm.
Maybe there's a secret, mystical connection between them - and the first time they touch, a soulbond activates. Can they figure out how to break it? (Do they want to?)
FDR convinces Jack to jump into bed and find out if they're absolutely identical - and test whether their physical responses are the same.

James T. Kirk/Steve Trevor
Star Trek: AOS/DC Extended Universe

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

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

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

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

Maybe this happens with a background of Xenk pining after Edgin, and being conflicted about his responses to a man who looks so similar yet behaves so differently. I can see Kirk being the one to get a repressed Xenk to believe he's allowed to have feelings, and they have a little dalliance - and then Kirk sends Xenk home with the courage to confess to Edgin. Or maybe Xenk hasn't developed any feelings for Edgin yet - or maybe not even met him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Simon Aumar/Pavel Chekov
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)/Star Trek: AOS

These two are adorable separately and I'd love to see them being adorable together. Nervous, awkward, sarcastic Simon, whose lack of self-confidence is holding him back, and the prodigy Chekov - brilliant, excitable, occasionally worrying about his capability but mostly convinced he can do it, even when everything's going to shit.

A sweet and innocent romance would be totally welcome, with them maybe sharing a kiss before they have to part? (But maybe there'd still be a way for the other one to visit!) Due to Simon's awkwardness and Chekov's youth, I tend to imagine them both as virgins, so maybe they wouldn't want to hop into bed together - but maybe they would! (Maybe one or both of them have a little bit of experience?)

Please set this before Simon gets together with Doric!

Maybe the Enterprise discovers the planet Toril, and beams down to investigate incognito - and then, as usual, something goes wrong. Maybe Chekov gets into trouble, and Simon is the one who saves him? Or Chekov stumbles on Simon in a sticky situation, and helps him out of it?
Or maybe nothing goes wrong, and they meet in a tavern and hit it off?
Maybe Simon's wild magic misfires and somehow he ends up on the Enterprise? Maybe something dramatic is already unfolding aboard, and he teams up with Chekov while everything gets sorted, before they can figure out how to send him home?
Or maybe the ship is calm, but Simon hangs out with Chekov (and Scotty, maybe Keenser) as they try to rig the transporter to send him home? Or maybe it's the hither-thither staff they need to work on? But the time spent together lets Simon and Chekov get to know each other.
Accidental soulbond? Whether via alien artifact or Simon's magic, the two of them end up linked. Maybe they can feel each other's feelings, or hear each other's thoughts, or can't move too far away from each other - or just feel an inexplicable pull towards each other. And then things develop between them.

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

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

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

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

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