I had some fun thinking up optional prompts, but if you have other ideas please go for it! I enjoy all ratings and any type of ending.

Doctor Who (Eighth Doctor Adventures)

Eighth Doctor/Alan Turing
The Turing Test (pdf download link) is one of my favorite EDAs. I’ve been fasciated by Alan Turing and Bletchley Park for a long time, so I particularly enjoyed seeing Turing and the Doctor team up. I would love to see missing moment(s) from the novel, or a story set post-canon.

Optional prompts:
After the Doctor’s breakdown in his room when he realizes the TARDIS is empty, Alan comforts the Doctor
Alan and the Doctor hook up on the train to Dresden
The Doctor is wounded and Alan drags him to safety
After the events of the novel, the Doctor sneaks into Bletchley Park to find Alan
The Doctor and Alan meet after the war
The Doctor meets Alan after he made the recording retelling the story

Eighth Doctor/Karl Sagedhi
I'm intrigued by the Eight/Karl relationship in A Year of Intelligent Tigers (pdf download link) – it’s not explicit, but it’s pretty obvious they’re together. I’d love to read a story focussing on these two, be it set during the events of the novel or afterwards.

Optional prompts:
Their first time (when Karl realizes the Doctor has two hearts)
Their life together before the events of the novel
Sharing their passion for music
An intense moment of music making turns sexual
One last night together before the Doctor leaves
Karl gets to discover/travel in the TARDIS



Hard Core Logo (1996)

Joe Dick/Billy Talent
This is one messed-up, dysfunctional relationship. I’m up for anything - pre-canon, missing scene, post-canon - all the angst, swearing, sex, hot mess of emotions.

Optional prompts:
Desperate hookup at a rest stop or after a concert
Joe doesn’t die but is severely injured and doesn’t remember the events leading up to his suicide attempt (or cannot remember Billy at all)
The film’s ending was Billy’s vivid nightmare and it continues to haunt him going forward
AU - completely different setting
Moment(s) from their past
Supernatural element (e.g. Billy meets Joe from a different dimension)



Hornblower (TV)

William Bush/Horatio Hornblower
I rewatched this show for vidding purposes a few months ago and discovered I still have serious feelings for this ship. So many lingering looks!

Optional prompts:
Secret relationship (developing or established)
In captivity
Stolen moments
Delirium from fever leads to confessions
Pushed to the limits
Barely repressed emotions
Shenanigans (on board or on land)
One overhears the other masturbating



Inspector George Gently

John Bacchus/George Gently
I'm slightly obsessed with this show and pairing right now. They're such intriguing characters, and I love both the tension and the loyalty of their relationship. (Feel free to include Rachel, Lisa and/or Leigh Anne.)

Optional prompts:
Lonely together
Angry boxing
Repressed emotions
Suppressed feelings bubble to the surface (e.g. after John accuses Gently of not feeling anything)
Gently watches over John in hospital after they were both shot in the cathedral
One or both are injured
Semi-public sex
Listening it music
Confessions
Secrets



Scarecrow and Mrs. King

Amanda King/Lee Stetson
This is one of my feel-good shows and pairings – the story could match the show’s lighter tone or go in a darker direction. I’m up for anything!

Optional prompts:
Lee and Amanda on the run
Road trip/trip to another country
Role reversal: Amanda is the spy and Lee the single dad
A will they/won’t they moment from the series goes further (eg. Utopia Now)
Undercover-as-a-couple
Trapped
Injured
Lee is sick and very cranky about it



Slings & Arrows

Ellen Fanshaw/Geoffrey Tennant
I adore this show and this pairing in particular. I love how well they know each other, which can lead to really sweet moments or confrontations where they know how to push each other's buttons. I would love any story involving these two (feel free to add Oliver to the mix).

Optional prompts:
Locked in/trapped - how do they react?
A story set in their past or future
Ellen understand Geoffrey better than he realizes
Ellen also talks to Oliver
Additional supernatural element



Star Trek: Strange New Words

Christopher Pike/Spock
This pairing caught me completely unawares. I was not looking to ship these two, but their chemistry drew me in. I'd love some angst, but I also really enjoy their lighter/funnier moments.

Optional prompts:
Trapped on an abandoned spaceship
Keeping secrets
Exasperation
Pike shares his love for horses (or tries to)
Stolen moments
Loss of control
A difficult decision
