Mai/Ty Lee
Their friendship and loyalty is so natural, I think they balance each other out and would be really good and healthy for each other in the long run. I'd love to see being together, intimate and loving, whether they're still getting together or already established, still having wild adventures or just spending a nice, peaceful day.
Suki/Ty Lee
In the comic Smoke & Shadow it turns out Ty Lee has joined the Kiyoshi Warriors, and I love that as a set up for fun or sexy times with Suki. Does Ty Lee have to prove herself or is having beaten Suki before good enough? Do they train together? Make out with all that makeup? They just seem like they'd have the best times together.
Azula/Ty Lee
This is a ship I like on the darker side, so if you like writing ~problematic kinkfic, go wild on this one. Emotional manipulation, dubcon, power play, dominance tropes, blood play, feel free to pull no punches. Alternatively, they could make for good angst too, if Ty Lee's feelings for her were real, but Azula was just... Azula.
Allura/Pidge | Katie Holt
I love the concept of these two getting together in the future, when it's been a few years and they're still at war, Pidge is a grown woman and their feelings for each other shift from friendship or just mutual respect into something else. They share interests, experiences, build a friendship, and feelings start to change; or they're together and keep saving each other from being damselled; or just have fun exploring each other's alien physiology or getting off in the green lion's cockpit...
She/her pronouns preferred for Pidge/Katie, please.
Nyma/Shay
Nyma and Rolo were too fun characters to disappear, so I like to imagine they informally ally with the paladins to clean up their act. So what if the paladins drop them on the Balmera, both to help the people there and get some help with their broken ship, and in the process of acquainting with the balmerans, Nyma develops a little crush on Shay? Shay's adorably naive, she's curious about and fascinated with everything, she's probably never seen any species like Nyma before... Things Happen!
Female Shepard/Ashley Williams
A strong friendship that turns to more, a complicated mess of false starts until it's real, or getting together on and off and on again, light de-stressing fun together on downtimes, or emotional rebound and support after Virmire or Thessia. Slight preference for Spacer/War Hero Shepard if mentioned at all, but it's not a dealbreaker.
Karin Chakwas/Hannah Shepard
To be fair I'd never thought of this ship before, but I saw it in the tags and immediately shipped them like burning. So I want to know how it works -did Karin meet Hannah between 1-2 or 2-3? After 3? Have they been together for a while but Chakwas has to stay professional because Shepard is her CO, still? Are they in it deep, or it is a friends with benefits thing? If this happens post-3, I have a preference for Destroy ending, if it's mentioned.
Maya Brooks/Shepard Clone
Clone Shepard kind of breaks my heart with her identity issues, the resentment of Shepard and not knowing who she is, herself. I'd love to see an exploration of this through her relationship with Maya, the discovery of her identity, her boundaries, who is she beyond just a clone. Canon-divergent fixit is welcome, where Clone Shep doesn't die, Maya finds her again and they start over.
Amata Almodovar/Female Lone Wanderer
They were best friends, and then the Lone Wanderer was gone. Were they dating before, in the Vault? Did they discover feelings for each other after the LW came back? How does Amata adapt to life outside the Vault, how does the LW help Amata with everything she's learned?
Female Lone Wanderer/Sarah Lyons
The original ending gives me a lot of feelings about LW/Sarah, so I'd love to see their relationship expanded in more depth. How Sarah helps the LW get used to the Brotherhood and its quirks, how the LW gets Sarah to relax and not be so formal about everything. Future fic/fixit is welcome where Sarah doesn't die in the FO4 timeline but still breaks off from Maxson's faction for ideological differences.
Rose of Sharon Cassidy/Female Courier
I ship my f!Courier hard with Cass, but Cass' line about sleeping with anyone if she's drunk enough always rubs me the wrong way. So something where Cass is really into the Courier/falling in love with her, having genuine feelings for her without the no homo undertones would be great.
Cait/Piper Wright
Cait and Piper are polar opposites in everything, but I think given the chance they could be a positive influence on each other. Piper helps Cait relearn what having a family and being loved is, Cait helps Piper let loose, follow her instincts more and not be so tied up into the little world inside Emerald City. They have a lot of arguments and UST, but ultimately meet in the middle and make a good thing together.
Briala/Celene Valmont
I'd love something placed either before the events of The Masked Empire, or after their reconciliation in Inquisition. This could be from quiets moments together or a passionate romp, in their younger years or during that week that they disappeared exactly as the Exalted Council was taking place... the only thing I really don't want with this is ship bashing, demonization of either Celene or Briala, or excessive focus on the worst aspects of their relationship.
Tessa Forsythia/Charter
They're both small side characters, but I think they're very interesting people and their relationship is so compelling. Unfortunately what we got on panel in Magekiller barely scratched the itch, so I'd be thrilled with anything that filled in the missing parts of their story - from how their relationship actually started (was it a slow burn, was it a series of one night stands that got serious over time?), to how it continues after the game's story (where do they go? do they stay with the Inquisitor or go off on their own?), etc. Random fill-in scenes showing their relationship, or scenes while travelling/camping together on mission would be great too.
Have fun writing! I can't wait to read your gift!
