Fandoms:
The Simpsons (Lisa/Juliet)
Juliet only appears in one episode (Lisa the Drama Queen), but I loved the relationship between her and Lisa. They seemed to connect so well, in a way that's pretty rare for Lisa, and I like how smart and imaginative they both are. I'd love to see them meet again when they're older - maybe they go to the same high school, or college? Or they meet at summer camp? I'm also curious about how things might have gone if their attempt to run away had been successful. Or what if Lisa had managed to get their book published - would it have brought them back together?
For this fandom, I'd prefer you keep it very G-rated (handholding, cheek kisses) unless they're aged up to at least teenagers.
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 (Spock&Uhura, Jim&Winona, Jim/Spock&Winona, Spock&Spock Prime, Spock&Pike)
Spock&Uhura: I'm requesting this as '&' because while I'm not a huge fan of their canon relationship, I really love the idea of them as friends. You can write the breakup if you want (especially if they break up because one/both of them is gay, because that is my jam), but please have it be amicable. Otherwise I'm happy with you jumping straight to them being friends - I'd love to see them supporting each other with their problems (especially anything dealing with Spock's issues with Vulcan being destroyed), or confiding in each other about their respective love lives (if you want to go this route I like Kirk/Spock, Scotty/Uhura, Uhura/Gaila, and Uhura/T'Pring). Or anything involving their shared interest in music/languages would be great too.
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? (Background Winona/OFC would be cool too.)
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.
Spock&Pike: Their relationship in TOS is fascinating to me, and I feel like Spock being Pike's first officer could lend a really interesting dynamic to it. I really like the idea of Pike being a mentor to Spock, and Spock looking up to him and wanting to please him, so anything about their relationship would be great. (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.)
Fandom specific DNWs: References to STID, Spock having a sister, sexism or homophobia among humans/Starfleet, Vulcan body temperature being lower than human, Winona being a bad mother or having a bad relationship with Jim.
Star Trek Discovery (Sarek&Spock)
I'm requesting this under Discovery because I'm curious how Michael's presence affected their relationship. How does Spock feel knowing his father is so much closer to Michael than to him? Does he know about her sharing Sarek's katra? (In his TNG episode Spock mentions that he never melded with his father, so I imagine it would sting a little if he knew.) How does he react to Sarek being so against him joining Starfleet when Sarek was so supportive of Michael doing the same?
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&Saavik, Kirk&Saavik, Kirk/Spock&Saavik, Spock&Sybok, Spock&M'Benga)
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&Saavik: I really like their mentor-student relationship in canon, and would love to see something like that explored in fic. Maybe a scene of the two of them when Saavik is a child, or a student at the academy? I'd also be interested in seeing what happened to her after her last appearence in The Voyage Home, or the two of them bonding over being half Vulcan and half something else.
Kirk&Saavik: I'd love to see a scene of Kirk interacting with kid Saavik - I've always liked the idea that his experiences on Tarsus would allow him to empathise and connect with her in a way that Spock can't. But I'd also be interested in the two of them interacting during her time at the academy, or even later on post-The Voyage Home.
Kirk/Spock&Saavik: Basically either of the above with added K/S! How does Saavik feel about their relationship? Does she ever ask them for advice? How does Kirk feel about Spock's decision to foster her? (I also like Saavik/OFC if you want to go in a 'romantic advice' direction.)
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.
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.
Fandom specific DNWs: Sexism/homophobia among humans/Starfleet, Spock having a sister, Vulcan body temperature being lower than human.
