Stargate - All Series
Kate Heightmeyer/Elizabeth Weir
Vala Mal Doran/Elizabeth Weir
Laura Cadman/Teyla Emmagan
Teyla Emmagan/Vala Mal Doran
I love each and every one of these pairings equally. Kate and Elizabeth are definitely secretive and have a hard time opening up to anyone else, because they feel they have to be strong and set examples. Teyla and Vala are definitely traders and could make serious money together. Teyla and Laura are both warriors, they have that hook. Vala is the type to make Elizabeth laugh, very, very unwillingly, but it would be good for her.
I enjoy AUs of many types, especially alternate timelines and various supernatural, horror, or other AUs, as opposed to the contemporary, non-magical, non-SFF AUs. Or you could just write one or both of the Stargate settings as general canon.
Stargate-specific DNWs: If you're going to set your story post-s3, I prefer stories where Elizabeth and Kate are not dead (or you could fix it, they don't have to stay dead), and Laura is not forgotten by the Atlantis folks. If you do write Vala, please write her less as comic relief and more as a trickster or thief. General DNWs include issue fic, permanent character death, noncon (dubcon is fine), incest, A/B/O, kink involving bodily fluids other than blood (I do especially like vampire AUs), character bashing, and curtainfic. I'm not into either end of the fluff-to-grimdark spectrum.

I feel like the worldbuilding options are wide, wide open here, and the prompt is almost its own outline. Or you could go wild on any of these, and I would love whatever you came up with. I do love Doctor Who and its timey-wimey fun, horror movies, apocafic, fairy tales, mytholgy, and anything Lovecraftian without the hideous -isms that Lovecraft enmeshed in his works is also pretty great, so lay it on me.
