Chocolate Box, 2016
Everyone else seems to be asking for lovely fictional canons, and I’m going to shamelessly roll in here asking for all athlete RPF. Oops. But, hey, you offered at least one of these pairings, so we should be friends! :D Please don’t be worried about writing/drawing for me - I’m very easy to please and I will be ecstatic for pretty much any fic/art about one of my characters. <3
First, basics, and then on to the fandoms!
Like list
• Basic: Friends-to-lovers, falling in love, comfortable established relationships filled with affection and in-jokes, couples kicking butt together and saving the team (and then picking up the drycleaning on the way home), people knowing each other really well, banter, emotional support, worldbuilding (some of my favorite questions: how does that thing work? what are its ramifications? what are some things the original canon POV might have overlooked?), plans, plans that don’t go according to plan, working together and using different strengths.
• In romance: Snark, banter, fond teasing, zaniness, affection laced with humor, snuggling in bed, people in love who enjoy spending time together but aren’t codependent.
• In porn: Kissing, exploring a partner’s body, unexpected erogenous zones, talking during sex, sex that doesn’t go quite right but they run with it and make it awesome anyway, incoherent noises, morning sex, well-developed biceps and shoulders, fingering for the sake of fingering not in preparation for anything else, wall-sex, multiple orgasms, laughter.
Squick list
Basic: Infidelity, bullying of any kind, cruel jokes, noncon, dubcon, incest, bestiality, underage.
In romance: Gaslighting, too much neediness, characters who are in love but don’t seem to really like each other very much, A/B/O.
In porn: Someone kissing their partner after rimming them without washing their mouth out first, bad dirty talk, not checking in on their partner’s comfort and pleasure.

Requested Ships:
Teddy Bridgewater/B.J. Dubose
Teddy Bridgewater/Blair Walsh
Teddy Bridgewater/Cordarrelle Patterson
Cordarrelle Patterson/Blair Walsh
My Vikings boys! Quick rundown:
* Teddy Bridgewater is the Vikings quarterback. He is young (a 2nd-year) and cute. Also pretty great at football, when the offensive line isn't letting him get sacked all the time. >:( Ahem.
* B.J. Dubose is a rookie defensive end, who was on the practice squad all year but JUST got called up to the main team for the playoffs! I originally picked him because he played on the same 7-on-7 team (high-school) and went to Louisville (college) just like Teddy, so there’s the ‘long-time friends become something more’ and/or ‘high-school/college boyfriends’ angles, but now he has an awesome football arc as well that could definitely come into play. Yay for B.J.!
* Cordarrelle Patterson is another young Vikings player. He’s one of the best kick returners in the league and is a really dynamic player.
* Blair Walsh is the kicker. He’s the oldest of the lot, at 25. I picked him because I liked the dynamic of a position player + a kicker; I feel like kickers have a unique kind of perspective on the NFL that position players don’t get.
Overall: these are a group of young guys, aged 23-25, who are awesome and fun and just won their division for the first time (beating Green Bay IN Green Bay to clinch it, in the final game of the regular season, in primetime!) They’re probably going to lose vs Seattle, but hey, there’s hurt/comfort potential if that happens. Or celebration potential if they pull off the upset! :)
I am great with whichever of these ships you like. I love reading about sports and athletes. I love the nobbly bits and strategy and head-games and breathtaking moments. I love the muscles and locker-room bonding, referees and ice-baths, underdogs and rivalries and tempests in teapots. I love competition and fire, and the friendships/relationships that flourish in spite of competitive fire.
Things I would be interested in reading/seeing art for, in no particular order:
** Laughter and banter.
** A slice of NFL life, and how a relationship with another player would fit into the rhythms of the game; the pull between on-court competitiveness and off-court closeness.
** Strength and athleticism in bed as a major turn-on.
** Locker-room pranks, shenanigans, tricks, goofing-off, etc.
** A pair having to figure out what it means that they keep falling into bed together.
** Getting walked in on by another player (whether kissing in the locker room, or having a hotel roommate come home early & walk in on more involved activities).
** Bets made on games/stats - not monetary, but forfeits or sex bets
** How did a couple first get together?
** Coming-out fic (to friends, to the team, to the public, whatever level)
** Five-times fic (five times a caught himself staring at b, and one time he let b see him looking; five times a pranked b, and one time b got his own back; five times a & b got interrupted before they got around to having sex, and one time they weren't; etc.) I am a sucker for this format. The different times can be quite short vignettes if you like. (Obviously, given the minimum length, lol.)
Art: One player waiting for another after practice. A player holding a football while laughing at his partner. A player on the way to the showers, a towel wrapped around his hips, his partner checking him out. Any players kissing/smiling at each other.

OVI. Give me Ovi falling in love? Or established-relationship in which he is already in love.
Things I particularly like to read about Ovi, and how he will torment/amuse/demonstrate his love for the man of his dreams: Pranks. Silliness. Shenanigans. Porn that features his size and power (because he is sort of one of my ideal body types, yesssss he is). Russian food/swearing/customs/etc. (I am not Russian but majored in it in college, so I love fic that brings the Russian.)

Andy Murray & Amelie Mauresmo
Stanislas Wawrinka & Magnus Norman
Rafael Maymo/Rafael Nadal
Samantha Stosur/Simmone Morrow
Coach-player and physio-player relationships! (The coach-player ones are the friendships, the physio-player ones are the ships.) I’d love to hear more about these guys - I love the dynamics between each of these pairs. I’m particularly interested in fluffiness or at least happy endings; they’ve all had difficult times lately and could use some happiness.
David Goffin/Dominic Thiem
David Goffin/Pierre-Hugues Herbert
Pierre-Hugues Herbert & Nicolas Mahut
Kids! (Except for Nico, he is a funny oldster, but he gets in because he’s ridiculously funny with Pierre-Hugues.) Write me PHH & Nico playing pranks and being silly, and/or write me Goff/Thiem or Goff/PHH falling in love. Kids and tennis and silly lovely bits.
Mohamed Lahyani & Eva Asderaki
Umps doing their thing. I’d love to read about a friendship between Mo and Eva. Who are their Problem Players? Who do they always groan to see their name on their ump list for the day? Do they ever troll players together? I do not ship them, sorry (afaik they are both happily married, and I think Eva is a newlywed), but I am totes here for their friendship.
Fabio Fognini/Flavia Pennetta
Actualfax in love and getting married! I would love to read/see art about how Flavia deals with Maximum Troll Fabio. (How he reacted to her winning the USO - the pictures, the love, everything - was hilarious.)
Gael Monfils & Stanislas Wawrinka
Novak Djokovic & Stanislas Wawrinka
Rafael Nadal & Stanislas Wawrinka
Stan and his friend posse! Tell me all about their pranks and locker room shenanigans and weird texts. Or how their friendships evolve when Stan became a big threat in 2013, and won his Slams in 2014 and 2015.
Benoit Paire/Stanislas Wawrinka
Novak Djokovic/Andy Murray
Longtime ships. Aren’t going away. In both cases, I adore the banter, and I also adore the feelings. Give me cotton-candy fluff, sardonic banter, pranks, shenanigans, cuddling in bed, coming-out fic, going-public fic, tropey fic, I will LOVE IT ALL.
On a more general level, I love reading about sports and athletes. I love the nobbly bits and strategy and head-games and breathtaking moments.
