Fandoms:
Stargate (Sam/Janet)
I love Sam, and her relationship with Janet is one of my favourites. I could easily see their friendship leading to more, and I really like how they support each other in canon, and how Sam's kind of like a second mother to Cassandra. I'd love a hurt/comfort fic where Sam gets hurt on some mission and Janet looks after her, or the two of them relaxing together on a day off, or a fix-it where Janet doesn't die or comes back from the dead. Appearances from the rest of SG-1 would be great too, if you're so inclined.
Star Trek AOS (Jim&Winona, Jim/Spock&Winona, Spock&Spock Prime)
Jim&Winona: I'd love to see something exploring their relationship, especially when he's grown up and is captain of the Enterprise. Maybe a scene of him showing off his ship to his mother, or introducing her to his crew, or going back to Iowa after the events of the first/third movie? (I got some great Jim&Winona fics for Trick or Treat, but I always want more.)
Jim/Spock&Winona: I think Spock and Winona would get on well (in my headcanon she's a scientist too) so I'd really like to see Jim introduce them. Like above, it could be that Winona comes to the ship, or Jim takes Spock home to Iowa to meet her, or I'd really love a scene of her at their wedding.
Spock&Spock Prime: I love the idea of the two of them being friends and Spock Prime acting as a mentor to his younger self. I'd like to see them staying in contact and Spock Prime offering advice (within reason) about the crew, his father, etc, and/or comfort over the loss of Vulcan, or keeping him updated about the colony and its progress.
Fandom specific DNWs: Spock/Uhura (even in gen), references to STID, sexism or homophobia among humans/Starfleet, Winona being a bad mother or having a bad relationship with Jim.
Star Trek TNG (Riker/Troi)
Their relationship is one of my favourite parts of the show. I love how they clearly love each other and have fun together, even when they're not dating. I'd like to see them going on shore leave, or spending time in the holodeck, or playing poker with their friends, or just hanging out together. Or something exploring their history together before they started working on the Enterprise could be cool too. I'd also really love anything exploring Troi's empathic abilities and how they affect their relationship.
Star Trek TOS (Kirk/Spock, Kirk&Spock, Scotty/Uhura, Spock&M'Benga, Spock&Pike, Spock&Sybok)
Kirk/Spock, Kirk&Spock: I'm listing these together because I honestly don't care which I get. I love Kirk and Spock's relationship in all its forms, so any kind of warmth and affection between them will make me happy. Generally I prefer gen set during the series and slash set during the movies, but I'm pretty flexible so don't feel you have to stick to that if you have an idea that conflicts. For ideas, I like pretty much the same things in slash as in gen - shore leave, the two of them stranded on a planet, one of them being hurt or ill and the other taking care of them, or any kind of fic dealing with the events of the episodes/movies.
Scotty/Uhura: Their scenes together in The Final Frontier are adorable. I'd love something set when they're older, but something during the series would be great too. I'd like to see them bonding over music, or going on shore leave together, or meeting each other's families, or anything really. I love this ship, and there just isn't enough of it.
Spock&M'Benga: I find M'Benga really interesting. He's a minor character, but the few things we know about him raise all kinds of questions. Why did he intern on Vulcan? Could he have some kind of telepathic abilities? I'd really like to see him treating Spock for various illnesses/injuries, making use of his unique skills, or him and Spock bonding over Vulcan stuff.
Spock&Pike: The hints of their relationship in "The Menagerie" have always fascinated me. Spock was willing to risk his life for Pike, not to mention committing mutiny - that implies a pretty strong affection between them. I really like the idea of Pike being a mentor to Spock, or even a sort of father-figure, and Spock looking up to him and wanting to please him. (I also like the idea of Spock having feelings for Pike, but only in a 'teenage crush on a teacher' type way - the idea of Pike reciprocating kind of squicks me.) Basically anything exploring their relationship would be great.
Spock&Sybok: I know a lot of people like to pretend this movie never happened, but I've always found the idea of Spock having this long lost older brother who was exiled from Vulcan for, basically, being too emotional to be fascinating. I'd love an exploration of his relationship with Spock when they were young (in my mind he was one of the few people on Vulcan who was supportive of Spock, which made it worse when he left), or an AU where he doesn't die at the end of the film and they have to deal with everything that happened.
Notes: Please no sexism/homophobia or references to Spock having a sister. (I like Michael, but I'm still not sold on that whole plotline.) Also, since there are arguments about it, I take Vulcan body temperature as higher than human.
Thanks again!
