Pokemon (Ash, Ash/Misty, Ash/Dawn, Ash/Serena, Ash & Pikachu):
Fandom-specific DNWs: Married-with-babies-type future fic, any nominated characters dying, any nominated characters being bashed, Team Rocket being shown as worse than they are, fic that tries to make Ash 'smarter' and/or more 'badass' than he is in canon, haremfic
1. Character feels less than positive about being the 'Chosen One'
Characters/Pairings: Ash
Does Ash ever feel anxious about being the hero? Does he ever feel weird about being the one the legendaries often flock to? Does he ever think about all the times he died?
2. Forced Proximity - Trapped in a Closet, Forced Proximity - Huddling For Warmth, Forced Proximity - Forced Lap-Sitting Leads to Sexual Tension
Characters/Pairings: Ash/Misty, Ash/Dawn, Ash/Serena
One poor Pokegirl is in a situation that makes her incredibly flustered. It probably takes Ash a while to catch up. Maybe leads to kissing?
Maybe they're hiding in a closet from somebody/something dangerous, and have to stay extremely quiet. Possibly the huddling for warmth has an element of hurt/comfort. The lapsitting could be completely casual on the surface but it's closer contact than she's ever had with him.
What also could happen is that Ash feels too energetic to sit still and wants to get into the action so she has to hold him in place??? Maybe put her hand over his mouth if they're in a closet.
3. Fluff - Platonic Fluff
Characters/Pairings: Ash & Pikachu
Anyyy of the tooth-rotting Ash & Pikachu fluff you can think of. Cuddling, bathing, sleeping, whatever you can think of I am there.
4. Ghosts & Hauntings - Exploring a Haunted Location Together
Characters/Pairings: Any
I really love ghost types and the episodes where they're in a haunted location. So give me a nice spooky adventure with your fave spoopy Pokemon. Extra love if you bring in some of the creepiness that appears in the Pokedex entries.
5. Hurt/Comfort - Bedside Vigils, Hurt/Comfort - making poisoned character throw up, Hurt/Comfort - Recovering Together, Hurt/Comfort - Taking Care of Sick Character(s)
Characters/Pairings: Any
Maybe Ash is sick and he needs to be encouraged to rest in case it gets worse. Maybe Misty/Dawn/Serena is ill and Ash needs to look after her. Maybe he panics because he doesn't know anything about that but strives to help her, anyway, especially because he doesn't like seeing people he cares about suffer.
If Ash is sick, Pikachu curled up next to him would be adorable. Also, an anxious character sitting by the bedside of the unwell party would be lovely. Perhaps there is the feeding of food or drink to the sick person, perhaps there is hands against hot foreheads to check temperature, perhaps there is even gentle hair-stroking. Any soft, loving attentions giving to the sick would be great.
As for the vomiting - perhaps the person vomiting really hates it, or perhaps they don't want to be seen doing it. Maybe they're encouraged by having their shoulders/back/hair stroked and being talked to, softly.
6. Mind Control - Character takes a lot of damage trying to break another character out of mind control, Whump - Character takes a lot of damage trying to calm down another character
Characters/Pairings: Ash & Pikachu, Ash/Serena
Some of my favourite moments are when Ash withstands attacks from a Pokemon (usually Pikachu, but not always) when attempting to calm them down and/or snap them out of mind-control. He doesn't care how much damage he takes as long as they are safe. So anything with Pikachu being controlled or out of his mind and Ash holding onto him to coax him through it would be great.
Another idea I really like is the idea of Serena being mind-controlled and attacking him. Ash tries to snap her out of it even as she hurts him. If her crush on him could become a little twisted under mind-control, that would be cool, too.
7. Resurrection - came back wrong
Characters/Pairings: Ash
Ash has died several times. What if one time, he came back wrong? How wrong? That's up to you.
8. Roommates/Housemates - Mismatched Characters Move In Together Roommates/Housemates - unexpected shared domesticity leads to feelings
Characters/Pairings: Ash/Misty, Ash/Dawn, Ash/Serena
AU where Ash moves in with a girl he doesn't know (maybe he finds an ad for a room she's letting or something) or vice versa. They're out of sync to begin with, but then feelings develop.
I would prefer it if Pokemon still existed in this world, so Ash probably still has Pikachu.
9. Self Sacrifice - Accepting Abuse to Protect a Loved One, Self Sacrifice - Accepting Rape to Protect a Loved One, Self Sacrifice - Accepting Torture to Protect a Loved One
Characters/Pairings: Ash
Ash undergoes terrible things to protect his loved ones! I would prefer it if this were not Team Rocket but someone more formidable like Lysandre or Pokemon Hunter J, for instance (or someone of your own making???).
10. Sharing a Bed
Characters/Pairings: Ash/Serena
Ash and Serena end up having to share a sleeping bag for some reason. Ash sleeps like a log but Serena is so desperately flustered she has trouble sleeping. Nothing ends up happening that night, she just wakes up super frustrated. Ash has no idea.
Extra thing could be if Ash hugs her in his sleep without realising.
11. Transformation - Character turns into a catboy/girl
Characters/Pairings: Ash
Ash turns into a catboy, with all the adorable trimmings (ears, tail, claws, purring, etc). If it's a specific Pokekitty, maybe he gains some of the attributes of that Pokemon (a Meowth throwing money and scratching a lot, Skitty chasing its tail, Espurr being a spacey psychic type holding down immense power).
Also maybe people keep trying to pet him, and it annoys him but also makes him purr.
The Magnus Archives (Jude Perry/Nikola Orsinov, Gertrude Robinson/Agnes Montague, Melanie King/Alice "Daisy" Tonner, Basira Hussain/Alice "Daisy" Tonner, Basira Hussain/Melanie King, Nikola Orsinov/Alice "Daisy" Tonner, Gertrude Robinson & Any)
1. Battle Couple (TV Tropes)
Characters/Pairings: Jude Perry/Nikola Orsinov, Melanie King/Alice "Daisy" Tonner, Basira Hussain/Alice "Daisy" Tonner, Basira Hussain/Melanie King
Girlfriends fighting monsters, following monsters, killing them. Alternatively, girlfriends being monsters.
2. Body Horror, Sex Tropes - Xeno, Transformation - Slowly Turning Into A Monster
Characters/Pairings: Any
Any body-horror you can think of, whether it's something happening to one of the characters or something she sees. Perhaps her girlfriend is also undergoing something strange. How would that work?
Maybe Melanie, Daisy or Gertrude is starting to become less visibly human. In what ways?
Maybe Jude and Nikola want to have sex so how would that work with Jude being made of hot wax and Nikola essentially being a skin-covered mannequin? How do they prevent things from getting melty? Do they even want to?
3. bodyswap - swapped characters are on opposite sides of conflict
Characters/Pairings: Any
One of the bad guys swaps bodies with one of the (relative) good guys. Who is it? How strange does the new body feel? Do they have sex in the new body?
4. Captivity - Characters Trapped in Evil Circus
Characters/Pairings: Any
I would just really, really love to know more about the Circus of the Other, the Unknowing, all of the circus-related Stranger shenanigans. Just all of that horrifying stuff.
5. Case Fic - Solving a high-stakes case, Case Fic - Solving a murder
Characters/Pairings: Basira Hussain/Alice "Daisy" Tonner
Have Basira and Alice solve a weird case together. Doesn't have to be related to the canon goings on (though it still being creepy/supernatural would be a big plus), just the two of them doing their detective thing.
6. Character Doesn't Know How To Process Their Own Happiness
Characters/Pairings: Melanie King/Alice "Daisy" Tonner, Basira Hussain/Alice "Daisy" Tonner, Basira
Hussain/Melanie King
Basira, Melanie and Daisy have somehow gotten away from the Magnus Archives and everything to do with it and all of the powers. Eventually, they start to even live happy lives. But, it's difficult.
7. Enemy Mine - No One Else Gets to Kill You
Characters/Pairings: Gertrude & Any
Maybe Gertrude is extremely possessive over her adversaries.
8. Fighting Through An Injury
Characters/Pairings: Any
Someone gets injured and continues to fight on through it. It could be something mundane or something very eldritch.
9. Gods and Religion - Apotheosis
Characters/Pairings: Gertrude Robinson/Agnes Montague
Agnes is the messiah of the Desolation/The Lightless Flame so she is heading towards godhood whether she likes it or not. Gertrude is the archivist but is working against the eye, but hasn't she ever wanted to give in and become something more?
10. Good Is Not Soft (TV Tropes)
Characters/Pairings: Gertrude & Any, Basira Hussain/Alice "Daisy" Tonner
Gertrude is only a certain value of 'good' (as in, she doesn't want the world to end), but how many people have found out the hard way how not-soft she really is?
Alice witnesses Basira (who is one of the most typically 'good' characters on the podcast) being ruthless, and it takes her by surprise. Maybe she even finds it sexy.
11. Immortality - Being immortal is actually great
Characters/Pairings: Jude Perry/Nikola Orsinov, Nikola Orsinov/Alice "Daisy" Tonner
Nikola likes being a near-unkillable eldritch monster in a mannequin. It's actually pretty great.
12. Kissing - Adrenaline Fueled Make-out
Characters/Pairings: Any
Stuff is getting scary and violent and we're all fired up. So fired up, we need to make out right now.
13. Mind Control - Sex under Mind Control, Power Perversion Potential (TV Tropes)
Characters/Pairings: Any
Just sex using any of the creepy powers we have, here.
14. Morality Exploration - He Who Fights Monsters
Characters/Pairings: Melanie King/Alice "Daisy" Tonner, Basira Hussain/Alice "Daisy" Tonner, Gertrude
Robinson/Agnes Montague, Gertrude Robinson & Any
On the hunting and killing of monsters making one a monster.
15. Road Trip - To Undo the Apocalypse
Characters/Pairings: Melanie King/Alice "Daisy" Tonner, Basira Hussain/Alice "Daisy" Tonner, Basira
Hussain/Melanie King, Gertrude Robinson & Any
Travelling somewhere remote to stop the world being turned into a huge fear machine. Maybe, though, not every moment is full of doom and gloom?
16. Sudden Realization - Oh No They're Hot
Characters/Pairings: Nikola Orsinov/Alice "Daisy" Tonner
Daisy realising that Nikola is uncomfortably hot for a weird clown mannequin monster. Nikola may very well be having similar feelings.
Gotham (Oswald Cobblepot):
1. Transformation - Character turns into a catboy/girl
Oswald turns into a cat boy (ears, tail, claws, purring). He tries to hide it but somebody finds out. Could possibly have somebody non-con scratching his ears and making him purr.
2. Kink - Suit Kink
A celebration of Oswald's lovely clothes.
3. Writing or Epistolary - Characters reveal in correspondence what they can't say in person
What if Oswald was sending letters to somebody on the sly. Or, what if Oswald had been writing letters to somebody dead just to get a little emotional catharsis.
4. Starting a new life (TV Tropes)
Oswald leaves Gotham to live somewhere else, somewhere completely different. Maybe he wants a change, maybe he just can't return right now, maybe Gotham has been burned to the ground.
5. Pets - Adopting a Pet
How did Oswald end up adopting Edward the dog?
6. Hurt/Comfort - Taking Care of Sick Character(s)
Oswald is sick and somebody takes care of him. He doesn't particularly want to be sick and is really anxious but it feels nice to be taken care of.
Thank you! I hope this was useful.
