forswornn | Ships Crossing 2024

All of my blorbos, jumbled together! Exciting! Well, okay, so I did put some thought into it while rotating them into each other, trying to put together people who had some common ground - or an interesting contrast. But it does come down to "I love A, I love B, I would love to see A and B together", so yeah.

Thank you for creating something for me! My username is

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

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

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...
Any rating, from G to Explicit.
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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Tiny, spiky Doric and charming, rakish Simon. They each have sharp tongues, but in different ways - Simon is deliberately cutting, while Doric is just blunt. Maybe they'd grate like sandpaper to begin with, until they softened towards each other - or something pushed them into it. Both of them were rejected by their parent(s), so maybe they'd bond over that? But I'd love to see them find a little softness together... or just have some fun.

Maybe Simon finds a portal hidden in an old mansion, or an object that transports him when he touches it, and ends up in Faerun. He tends to use humour as a weapon when he feels hurt or vulnerable - would he turn the banter to max if he got dropped into a dangerous situation?
Would he use his boxing skills to defend himself? Maybe he arrives while the party are in combat, or are mid-heist, or maybe he arrives while Doric's adventuring alone.
Or maybe an artifact or a failed spell by the other Simon sends Doric to Regency times. Does she try sneaking around in animal form to avoid people reacting with horror to her tiefling form? Or does she not realise nobody there has seen a tiefling before - and Simon has to rescue her?
Maybe Doric arrives at a ball or event where she doesn't seem out of place (masquerade, maybe?) and gets to have a lovely time dancing, eating posh food, and exchanging banter with Simon.
Flirty rake Simon convinces Doric to go to bed with him. Maybe he's excited to explore her tail, her horns, and her tiefling bodyheat? (Maybe, as someone who's never even encountered the concept of anti-tiefling prejudice, his earnest interest is really meaningful for Doric.)

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

Somehow they meet in a tavern? Edgin appreciates Simon's rakishness, but sees there's angst behind his sharp tongue. Simon's drawn in by Edgin's slightly awkward charm. Maybe a secret liaison sounds like a great idea after a drink or two, or maybe a card game results in some sexy bets?

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

Simon Aumar/Benedict Bridgerton
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)/Bridgerton (TV)

I'd love to see what happens when these two soft guys meet. They're both capable of putting their foot in it (literally, in Simon's case) but I can see them appreciating each other. Maybe Benedict could draw Simon? Or Simon could impress Benedict with a few cantrips? What happens if they start talking about their families?

(Please set this before Simon gets together with Doric!)

Maybe Benedict finds a portal hidden in an old mansion, or an object that transports him when he touches it, and ends up in Faerun. Does he get dropped into the middle of a battle, and Simon has to protect him with magic? Or maybe he just arrives in a tavern, and gets to enjoy a cosy atmosphere and some flirting with Simon as he tries to figure out how to get home? (Maybe Simon offers to help with a spell, and ends up making it worse - accidental soulbond, maybe?!)
Or maybe it's Simon who gets sent to Regency times when one of his spells spectacularly backfires. Does he arrive during a ball, and have to awkwardly bluff his way through it until Benedict takes him under his wing? Maybe he arrives in Granville's art studio while Benedict is practising there?
Wherever they are, does Benedict show his sketchbook to Simon? Or maybe they literally bump into each other and Benedict drops it, the sketchbook falls open, and Simon is stunned by the art as he picks it up to give it back? Maybe Benedict asks to draw Simon - or Simon volunteers?
Even if Simon struggles to control it, is Benedict impressed by the power of his magic? Maybe as an artist, he marvels at the way the spells look too, if they create interesting colours. Does Simon use some cantrips to show off a bit, risk free, and actually get to feel some pride in his abilities?
Is this early in Benedict's bisexual journey, or later on? Is he nervous about expressing an interest in Simon, even in a world that doesn't care if men have sex together? Just nervous in general? Maybe he realises Simon's not that experienced (or even a virgin) and is worried about going for it, but they end up bumbling into a kiss anyway? Maybe they awkward their way into bed - and end up having a great time.

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

Two very different men who share a face. Maybe Xenk would appreciate how seriously Simon takes his vow. Maybe Simon would get Xenk to open up a little. They both had angsty childhoods, but Simon turned to rakishness while Xenk turned to serving others. Maybe Xenk inspires a little selflessness in Simon? Or Simon convinces Xenk to go to bed with him?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

I'd love to see caring, principled Diana drawing out the hidden goodness in Edgin - and maybe they could both help each other with their angst. How does she deal with the weirdness of him sharing Steve's face but being his own person? Would there always be a sad undercurrent, or could they find happiness together?

Maybe a strange artifact gets sent to the museum, and when Diana touches it she's transported to Faerun. Does she get dropped into the middle of combat and immediately try to help Edgin and the party? What if she arrives during a heist - does Edgin have to explain why it's very moral and good that they're stealing this magical object? (Does it take the lasso of truth to convince her he's not just bullshitting?)
While helping with their quest, or while the party find a way to send her home, Diana gets to see Edgin performing. Is this a comfortable and earnest moment around the campfire that tugs at her heartstrings, or a polished performance meant to dazzle and distract?
Or maybe an artifact or a failed spell by Simon sends Edgin across worlds instead. Does he arrive just after Diana's lost Steve (again), when the pain is still raw and his face is a painful reminder? Or maybe he arrives when the wound's not as fresh, but Diana still angsts about whether she's really attracted to him or whether it's just because he reminds her of Steve? Maybe being in such a dangerous and unfamiliar environment leads Edgin to leaning on bad habits, and Diana has to pull him back towards goodness?
As losing Zia and Steve had such a big impact on each of them, that really seems like something important for them to discuss. Maybe it's only as they open up emotionally, allowing themselves to be vulnerable with each other, that they really start to appreciate who the other is - and develop feelings.
Considering Edgin's bardic charm, I can definitely see Diana using the lasso of truth on him for one reason or another. How does he react? Did the Harpers ever give him training in resisting truth spells - and is that at all effective here?
Maybe they spend a passionate but angsty night together, both missing the people they love but finding some tenderness together, establishing intimacy via mutual understanding?
Or maybe they have some guilt-free fun, looking to relax together - or there are genuine feelings between them, and they want to express that in bed?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Traumatised, weary Steve has been worn down by the horrors he's seen, but he's still trying to make a difference because there's no other option. Stoic, compassionate Xenk is over a hundred years old and has seen his own share of terrible things, but still maintains such hope - maybe he could inspire that in Steve too? Or at least the two of them could find some respite together, some softness in a quiet moment.

Maybe while undercover Steve finds a strange object. He picks it up, thinking it's a weapon he needs to investigate, but it transports him to Faerun. Maybe he arrives in the middle of a Harper sanctuary, and Xenk insists on helping to send him home.
Or maybe he's dropped into the middle of a battle, and Xenk has to save him from a weird monster. Or maybe he helps to save Xenk?
Or Steve flies a plane into a cloud, but when he comes out the other side he's in another world. He happens to land near Xenk, who's fascinated by this strange machine.
Maybe Xenk gets sent to the First World War, by a spell or an artifact or a portal. Maybe he stumbles on an injured Steve and heals him? Or maybe Steve has to rescue Xenk before he wanders into No Man's Land.

James T. Kirk/Diana Prince
Star Trek: AOS/DC Extended Universe

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

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

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. Either way, I think they'd both recognise that they're trying to protect people and do good in the world, and that could bring them together. (On Steve's side, please set it before he meets Diana!)

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...

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

Simon Aumar/Mia Thermopolis
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)/Princess Diaries (Movies)

They're both adorable - and a bit clumsy. I'd just love to see them together. Maybe their joint clumsiness would be a disaster - but they'd end up laughing, and sharing a kiss? Maybe Simon could impress Mia with a few cantrips? Or accidentally cause chaos with some wild magic? Something cute and fluffy would be great, maybe with some banter - they're both so earnest, but Simon's very sarcastic and Mia happily snipes at Nicholas. I just think these two awkward people could make a connection and have some fun.

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

Simon's wild magic catapults him into Genovia - right into the middle of a royal fancy dress party. He doesn't look out of place, but Mia knows he is because she doesn't recognise him. Maybe he doesn't realise just how far he's been flung at first?
Or maybe Simon accidentally summons Mia to Faerun! Was he trying to cast a spell to look for a quest object - or attack an enemy in combat? And she's plunged right into the party's quest, as they try to figure out how to get her home. Maybe she's initially reluctant to admit she's a princess?
Mia finds a secret passageway deep under the palace that leads to another world. While exploring, she bumps into Simon - possibly quite literally. Does he awkwardly offer to show her around? Maybe something dramatic happens - or they have a lovely time seeing the sights, maybe visiting a tavern.
Or maybe an AU where Genovia is part of Faerun? Maybe Simon and the party are planning to break into the palace - or maybe they're attempting to be heroic adventurers, and Mia needs their help?

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.

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. Would they see themselves in each other - and not just because they share a face? Maybe they'd quickly flirt their way into bed, or maybe they'd bond over their angst and the difficulty of protecting people.

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.

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? I can see Kirk being the one to get a repressed Xenk to believe he's allowed to have feelings. They both lost family members in traumatic ways as children, so maybe they would bond over that.

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.

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.

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

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.
